The Experience
Before You Go
Hydrate before you ride
Start with at least 1 liter of water and carry 1–2 liters in a pack—Moab’s dry air accelerates dehydration.
Protect from the sun
Use sunscreen, UV sunglasses, and a brimmed helmet or cap—shaded sections are rare and sun exposure is intense.
Choose the right footwear
Flat or clipless mountain bike shoes with good grip help on slickrock sections and short hikes.
Respect cryptobiotic soil
Stay on established trails and avoid walking on the dark crusty soil between trails to preserve fragile desert ecology.

Conservation Note
Trails cross fragile desert soils and cryptobiotic crusts; stay on marked routes, pack out waste, and minimize bike wash to protect soils and native plants.
