W2467ICmollys about Bighorn Mountain Biking on TripAdvisor

Our group rented bikes from Ike and Kenny and had an amazing time! They were super friendly and knowledgeable, the bikes were in great condition and the rental spot was very convenient. The trails (Dead Horse) were a lot of fun too (we had beginner to advanced riders in our group). Would highly recommend!

James Houghton about Moab Cyclery on 57hours

The folks at Moab Cyclery were all very helpful and professional and our guide Jackie was outstanding. Organized a ride that met all our family\’s needs and experience level, was knowledgeable about the terrain and the Moab environment, and even helped with great tips about other hikes and experiences to consider. Highly recommended.

A Moab must!
Y4338QUtaram about Bighorn Mountain Biking on TripAdvisor

My girlfriends and I rented bikes from Big Horn Mountain Biking and I had the best day I’ve had all year! Renting the bikes at the trail head takes all the fuss and planning out the trip, instead you get the enjoy the ride and the AMAZING VIEWS. The bikes were like new and perfectly tuned, and Ike was super friendly and helpful. Would love to go back and would definitely recommend as a Moab must!

Up4Travels about Bighorn Mountain Biking on TripAdvisor

I normally never rate anything but this topnotch mtb outfitter deserves credit for fixing a booking that failed because of the 3rd party booking firm, TripOutside, neglected to follow through and follow up from my initial reservation. Kenny called out of concern and allowed us to experience my dream MTBing in the Moab area. We had new top full suspension bikes that were set up perfectly for our riding at Dead Horse. Book directly with Kenny and his professional team members.You won’t regret!

Ronald Naminski about Big Horn Mountain Biking on 57hours

My guide Dominic was very personable and knowledgeable about the trails, and surrounding geology.

I had a blast riding with Dominic and would request joining his rides when next that I visit the Moab area.

I feel like I found a new friend.

Just what I was looking for as an introduction to the Moab area and Dead Horse Point

In most cases, group sizes will be reduced, guides will avoid overcrowded locations, and other safety measures will be met depending on the location and activity.

    We also expect clients to respect local regulations and take measures to protect themselves, guides and the communities they’re travelling to. For more information on COVID-19 measures in Moab, Utah, please refer to Visit Utah’s COVID-19 guidelines.

  • You will need to be able to pedal between four and six hours, depending on the itinerary you choose. Even the easy tours require that riders be fit enough to pedal up some rising terrain. After booking, your guide will determine the group’s skill level and capabilities and cater the day to your specific abilities.

    Keep in mind, opting for the full day option means more biking, which is strenuous even if you stay on beginner level trails.

  • To book this adventure, all riders, regardless of age or height, must be capable of operating hand brakes and shifting gears. A guide will explain the different mountain bike techniques and body positions to get you feeling comfortable on the trail. You will progress at a level that is consistent with your comfort. Once you finally get the hang of trail riding, you will only want more!

      • Bike repair kit
      • Toiletries (sunscreen, hand sanitizer, bug spray, toilet paper, etc.)

    Wear comfortable riding or athletic clothing, preferably moisture wicking or synthetic material. Dress comfortably and for the weather in clothes you can move in. We suggest bringing clothing appropriate for the season.

  • Group sizes and prices:

      • For this adventure, the max client to guide ratio is 6:1.
      • The tours are private and cost is per person.
      • The costs decrease as your group grows.

    Mountain biking in Moab can be arranged for larger groups. Contact us to make arrangements.

    Min. age requirements:

      • If you are older than 18, you’re good to go.
      • Children as young as 10 are able to go on trips with a legal guardian. That said, if you have a young rider strong enough to handle sustained climbs (either riding or walking their bike) of hundreds of feet, and rough terrain, then they may be able to participate on a case-by-case basis.

    If your group has climbers under the age of 18, contact us prior to booking to make arrangements.

  • To get to Moab, most people fly to Canyonlands Regional Airport (CNY) in Moab, UT. Other options include flying into Grand Junction, CO, about a two-hour drive away, and Salt Lake City, UT, which is four hours away. You can rent a car or use one of the local Moab shuttle companies to get to the trailhead.

    Once you and your guide agree on the details of your itinerary, your guide will suggest the best place to meet, whether that’s at the guide shop or a predetermined location.
