If you’re a seasoned mountain biker and you haven’t ridden the Whole Enchilada, you’re missing out. The 33-miles of (mostly) downhill singletrack offer the most diverse and rewarding riding in the Moab area. The trail starts with some alpine mountain singletrack, which transforms into a cruise through high-altitude forests and finishes strong in Utah’s panoramic deserts. With its terrain variety, this ride is full of highlights, and Porcupine Rim may just be the biggest one. The abundance of perilous ledges, crazy drops, and technically complex terrain makes the ride feel a hardcore challenge, and conquering it is an immeasurable pleasure and bragging right. And with the massive sandstone cliffs you’ll be riding by and the amazing views of Castle Valley and the Colorado River, it’s certain that riding Porcupine Rim will be an experience you won’t soon forget.

Reed was great. Did not want to ride Porcupines Rim alone. He helped me with my lines and definitely help me with some pointers on this highly technical ride. I am glad I got a guide and would not recommend riding this alone. This was a bucket list ride for me. I came prepared but Reed came prepared with food, water, tubes, and a rented bike. Expect to fall. It humbled me and made me a better rider. Reed was great and would do it all over again. Thank you!!!
I traveled 22 hours to get to Moab for the Porcupine Rim and Rim Tours helped me with everything. Very easy, swift, and professional. And their guide was super awesome and helped me through with great instructions and explanations. Picked up at the time at the hotel and shuttle ride worked exactly as planned

Ok, listen. I am an avid mountain biker. I’ve been coming to Moab for almost 20 years. I love the trails love the terrain and every time I am here I hire a guide, why? I wanna ride what’s new and I don’t wanna get lost. Rim tours is simply the best, most professional mountain bike guide service in Moab! They hire only the best guides who are trained not only in the area’s terrain but in every aspect of mountain biking, they are handpicked, and when you go out with one you will realize why! If you want someone who knows how to give you the best experience with the time you have in Moab then the choice is simple. They rent only top-end bikes to go along with their top-end guides. Yesterday we rocked out the infamous porcupine rim and it was epic. The guides ride to your ability and will challenge you if you want. I ride with Sam but all their guides are top-notch! If I recommend one thing in Moab it’s Rim Tours!
