Headed to Moab

We also did a ride up to the edge of Arches National park, then you park your bike and can hike into the park itself. It was a pretty mellow ride, I think it was called Klondike trail but I'm not sure.

Yes, Klondike Bluffs trail - I loved it because even a relative beginner like me could do it. Not a huge challenge if you're a strong rider, but the view into Arches is absolutely gorgeous.

And there were dinosaur tracks along the way too. Bar M trails were relatively easy to get to, and has loops for beginner to (I think) advanced, all short loops (if you don't have much time).

Their website seems to be down at the moment, but Chile Pepper Bike Shop is great if you want advice on trails, or for rental bikes.

For breakfast I can recommend the Love Muffin Cafe.

We saw the dino tracks too. It was very cool.

This is sorta killin' me. My hubby does a Fruita/Moab trip each Spring. I might have to go with, someday. I can ask him where to go in Moab, though I do know that he LOVES the Hot Tomato in Fruita. I think they eat there pretty much every night they are in CO.

Klondike bluffs might be perfect. My legs will be cooked after that long run followed by 6 hours in the car. It's actually terrible timing for this trip, but I can't go to Moab and NOT take my bike!

I broke my finger on Amasa Back a few years ago, right at the beginning which should be walked by 99 percent of us - it was more of bike walk for me than a bike ride as it was somewhat to technical for my riding skills and the bike I was on. HOWEVER am throwing it out there because if you are a skilled rider it is a beautiful ride and the view was stunning.
We usually rent a casista at one of the campgrounds - I like being off the ground and being able to shower after being in all the dust and sand.

Jealous!! Joe's Ridge and Kessel run might be my two favorite trails in the whole wide world.
