Slickrock National Recreation Trail
This is THE trail people come to ride in Moab! Enough said.
This 10.5-mile loop crosses a scenic and rugged expanse of rolling Navajo Sandstone, the remnant of an ancient desert environment of wind blown sand dunes. Originally established in 1969 for motorcycles, the trail has become a popular destination for mountain bikes. The trail is open to both motorcycles and mountain bikes. Is is closed to all four-wheeled vehicles.
