That is one adventure that I would love to try. I heard about the San Juan Hut system ages ago, first time was probably in early 2000, and definitely need to plan to do that. I absolutely loved Moab, I went mountain biking there in 1994. I no longer own a mountain bike because I retired it from off road use, and gave it to an old retired Navy man who needed a bike. My next bike will be a Hardtail with 27+ tires, similar to what you're using. Looking forward to the rest of the adventure and views

Love Hardtails better for my type of riding, because I am no racer, or freerider, but love flow and technical trails. I am hoping to be able to build up a Santa Cruz Chameleon or Salsa Timberjack with a 130mm travel fork some day. I may have to look into a Jamis also.
