Kenny runs a great company and awesome riding experience with Bighorn rental and guided trips!

All spot on and well put together. Thank you sir!

Thank you!

I agree about slickrock. I knew nothing about it but it was the first trail I found. It had a lot of steep climbs on rock slabs, maybe 30 degrees or so, and was a punishing workout. I'm sure I turned around at some point and decided Utah mountain biking was too hard. I know the Moab area from rock climbing and plan on re-discovering it from a MTB perspective. I love the rock slabs but you have to be a marathon runner to do a trail like slickrock.

An excellent overview and guide for Moab riding. Thank you!

Glad you enjoyed it!

It is also easier to become dehydrated at altitude. This is a fantastic video, so much good information. If I make the trip to Moab again, I will look into hiring a guide. I consider myself an above average mountain biker and have ridden in the desert half a dozen times, but sometimes having someone else in charge of navigation makes it so much easier to just rip it on the trails! Thanks!

Going with a guide is always a good idea! If you'd like to join Kenny for a private day of riding, you can join his trip here: bit.ly/3S2lkEj

Great video and good intel. Also should note Navaho Rocks. I am solid intermediate and the Coney Island/Big Mesa loop is spectacular. Cheers

Man this is awesome. Just bought a mountain bike and I’m going to bless it tomorrow at Moab. Wish me luck.

Just got back from Moab and the hardest feature for me is the 11k ft elevation at Burro pass.

Sounds beautiful and hard!

Slick rock is my trail then! All about endurance. Thank you very much for such an informative video! Hard to find info online.

Thanks. We moved to Phoenix and were wondering about the MTB trails in Moab. Now we know. I will check your site for shuttle prices, etc.

This video is such an excellent introduction into Moab! Will definitely review again before heading out that way!

Thanks Kenny!

This is amazing info! Thank you so much for doing this

Cool

My first real mountain bike adventure was in Moab, around 1996, what a great and epic place to ride. It's called the mountain bike mecca for a reason. Sedona is a close second or tie! But it doesn't have the long epic trails that Moab does.

with a friend (he’s the one who found the idea) we’ve flown from france to LA end of October 1996 (it was few days before US president election) , spent a night in LA to buy a Trek Y22 each on Pico Blvd, then flown to Las Vegas , rent a car to drive to Moab for a terrific week of ride !!! It was also my first real MTB adventure. 27 years later (I’m 54 in one month), I plan to come back in Moab (among a lot of other destinations over the world, mostly is USA and Canada BC).

Great overview. We’re planning to come down from MN next fall and we’re fairly experienced riders but this definitely shows that Blue is a relative rating 😂. Appreciate the info.

great info, well done

This fantastic!! I will be in town for 2 days but can only ride for a few hours.. I'm a advanced rider. Do you rent ebikes for Dead Horse? I want to see and ride as much as possible , but don't blow myself out. Gotta go hiking with my wife..

Thanks for all the great info !

Great video, thanks. We are planning to come to Utah in the spring, going to buy new Bakcou e-bikes. We are going to spend 1-2 weeks exploring. Are e-bikes allowed on the beginner/intermediate trails you discuss?

Class 1 Ebikes are allowed at Dead Horse Point State Park which is beginner friendly with some intermediate options. Its a blast to ride there on an E-bike. Thanks for watching the video

Excellent video..Im coming over from CO for the 1st time and this us very helpful..will Moab Brands be pretty much clear of snow in April?

@outthereinit

Yes, most likely the Brands will be clear of snow in April. But there still could be a random storm that comes through.

Is it downhill from the end of enchilada to town? Is there a water source at the end of the trail before starting back to town or do people carry water for all 27 miles ? Thanks .

@kennyg8103

Hey Kevin. The ride back from the end of the enchilada is flat. It follows the river until you jump on the bike path into town. There is a water source (a natural spring with drinking quality water) on the left just before Lyons park. This is near the end of the ride tho. So dont depend on it. Have fun riding!

How much does it cost to rent a bike and have a guide for the day

Usually about $250-$300!

Hi! It looks like they do on specific trails - here is a helpful map: www.blm.gov/sites/default/files/documents/files/BLMUtahEbikeOpportunities.pdf

Bottom line, you will be a better rider after you ride Moab. Hire a guide if it’s money well spent.
