Mountain Biking Tours in Moab

Welcome to Moab!

The area is famous for its red, red “slickrock” sandstone that is anything but for super-grippy mountain bike tires. You’ll feel like you can ride straight up high-angle inclines that you’d otherwise hike-a-bike – granny gear or not. Mountain bikers initially come to bike the sandstone, but they return time and time again for the diversity of Moab’s terrain and the technical complexity of its trails.

Enjoy some of the best trails in the country

Moab’s signature Slickrock Trail and The Whole Enchilada are two of the area’s many top ranked mountain bike trails in the country. While Moab has so many legendary trails, here are a few that stand apart from the rest: HyMasa/Captain Ahab, Mag 7, Porcupine Rim, and the Dead Horse Point Tour.
