• What’s included?

  This is what you get on this adventure:

  • • An experienced MTB guide with extensive local knowledge of the area
    • A half-day or a full-day of mountain biking
    • Bike rentals
    • Helmet

  Beginner and intermediate rides come with a hardtail bike while advanced Mag 7 tour comes with a full-suspension bike. You can upgrade your bike to full-suspension for an extra $15. E-bike tours include full suspension e-bike rental.

  What’s not included:

  • • Meals and snacks
    • Accommodations
    • Transportation
• How fit do I need to be?

  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.

• What if I’ve never mountain biked before?

  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!

• What about required equipment?

  You’ll need:

  • • Sneakers or sport shoes
    • Breathable outside layer or jacket
    • Bike tights
    • Biking shorts

    • Windbreaker or light jacket
    • Two pairs of breathable socks.
    • Sneakers or sport shoes
    • Sunglasses
    • Water bottle or hydration bladder
    • Daypack with snacks
    • Biking gloves are optional but recommended
    • 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.

  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.

• Getting there and meeting location

  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.
