MOUNTAIN BIKING: Pipe Dream

← CO DOLORES RIVER BEDROCK CO Single Tracks →

Description

A North/South route laced between the private property that is the town of Moab and the Moab Ridge standing on the west side of town. Skirting through the rough foothills below the cliffs this trail is built through some improbable terrain. All singletrack, this is classic Moab riding. Full of grade reversals, some steep grades & tight corners. With an amazing amount of rock work and armoring this trail has taken a lot of manual labor to put in. The lush Moab Valley is below you, the spires of Arches N.P. one direction and the snow capped La Salle Mtns the other, there is plenty of scenery to look at. Taking your eyes off of this trail for any length of time in order to check out said scenery is not really advised due to the exposure on most of it. Although very new this trail is quickly becoming a favorite of the local crowd because of its close proximity to town. Can be done as an in & out (double mileage), shuttle or ride the road back for a loop- any way itÂ’s a decent ride.

Directions

North end; From Kane Cr rd turn west onto aspen ave and follow it to the end. Trail starts directly across Doc Allen dr.<br /><br />South end; Heading south from Moab turn west on Angel Rock rd and follow it a couple blocks to the end. Turn right (North) on Rim Rock Ln and follow a couple blocks to the end.<br /><br />There are a few neighborhood spurs onto this trail, the one at the west end of Jackson st is just about right in the middle however parking is limited, parking in town and riding up is recommended.<br /><br />
