The experience

Moab sits at the center of some of the world's most famous mountain biking terrain, and this tour puts you on the trails without the navigation work. Your guide meets you at the trailhead with a 2020 mountain bike already set up, helmet, and a water bottle. You'll get a quick review of the bike, tips on handling and safety, then head out to ride the Brand Trails: terrain that's designed to be rideable for families while still delivering the landscape Moab is known for. Arches National Park frames the ride, and the guide sets the pace so nobody gets rushed or left behind.

The guide provides basic skill instruction if you need it, and safety is their priority throughout the 4 hours. Because this is a private group tour, your experience doesn't get cut short or hurried to keep up with other riders' fitness levels. You're riding one of the world's most famous mountain biking destinations, but the logistics (where to go, how fast, when to regroup) are handled for you.
