Our tours range from Moderate to Intermediate to Advanced in difficulty.

Please make sure you are not choosing a tour that is too difficult for your skill level. This is your vacation, not boot camp! Expect to ride about 4-6 hours per day, covering an average of 20-35 miles. Call our office if you have questions.

Moderate: Tours are suitable for riders with an average to good fitness level that engage in some form of regular exercise. Hills and descents are typically of short duration and longer steeper pitches can be easily walked. Trail surfaces are relatively even with occasional obstacles on trail (rocks, roots, sand) that can be either ridden or walked.

Intermediate: Tours are suitable for riders with good to excellent fitness level. Previous mountain bike experience is recommended. Trail surfaces may include uneven terrain and narrow trails, singletrack, with occasional obstacles (roots, rocks, sand). Hills and descents are moderate to strenuous and require some skill. Riders with minimal mountain bike experience but who have road biking skills or a strong fitness level, along with an adventurous spirit, should be suitable for an intermediate tour.

Note: Challenging Intermediate tours require more mountain biking experience due to consistently more challenging terrain.

Advanced: Tours are suitable for experienced mountain bikers only, with excellent fitness and strong bike handling skills. Riding is primarily on rough doubletrack with frequent obstacles or high elevation singletrack. Sections of trail can be very challenging with frequent ascents and descents of significant length. Most of our advanced-level tours are located at elevations ranging from 8,000 to 12,000 feet where trail conditions can change rapidly due to weather conditions and thunderstorms.

No, our detailed itineraries are not on the website. We are happy to email you a copy upon request. For some of our tours, there are different itineraries depending on several factors, such as the season.

Your spouse and friends don't ride? No problem! Many of our guests travel solo and you are sure to feel welcome and meet lots of interesting people.

For our multi-day tours -- even the easiest tours -- it is best to have at least a minimum of off-road experience. For your very first off-road riding experience, we recommend our Courthouse Loop half-day tour. However, several of our tours are on twin-track roads with no singletrack (for example, the White Rim.) Given the distance covered each day, and the roughness of the terrain, they do require a minimum level of fitness and comfort with off-road riding. That being said, we do have guests who enjoy their first off-road experience on a multi-day tour. If this will be your first off-road biking experience, please inquire before booking.

Moab is most popular for visitors during the Spring and Fall, primarily due to the weather. Summer is often very hot, and Winter is often very cold. One of the best resources for looking at historical monthly averages is U.S. Climate Data. October averages the most rainfall (just over one inch) and June averages the least (less than half an inch.) That being said, Moab averages only 9.5 inches per year, so it is considered very dry throughout the year.

Our half-day Courthouse Loop tour is the easiest, and therefore, often is the best choice for the very youngest riders. It has a wide, twin-track loop (as opposed to the narrower singletrack,) and gentle undulating ups and downs. Some 10 year-olds have developed strong riding skills and can handle some of the tougher trails we ride. It all depends on the individual.

As to our multi-day tours, we do not have a strict minimum age requirement, but generally, even for our easiest multi-day tours, young riders need to be strong enough to handle sustained climbs (either riding or walking their bike) of hundreds of feet, and rough terrain. The answer is very situational. Please inquire.

Both. We don't have multi-day tours scheduled in Moab during November, December, January and February because the weather is colder (and sometimes, snowy.) If you would like to do a day tour during the winter please call and inquire our availability.

Also, we sell our bike fleet at the conclusion of the Fall season each year and during parts of December and January we are sometimes without bikes.

We also do take vacations.

The average group size is 6-8, and most of our tours require a minimum of 4 guests to run. Our multi-day tours are sometimes limited in size by National Park camping regulations (for example, 13 is the limit on the White Rim, 7 in the Maze) or by basic logistics.
