Multi-Day Tour Skill Levels

Our tours range from moderate to intermediate to advanced in difficulty and the trail surfaces may be dirt road, 4wd routes and/or singletrack. Please make sure you are not choosing a tour that is too difficult for your skill level. Call our office if you have questions.
Moderate Rating: Suitable for riders with an average to good fitness level who engage in some form of regular exercise and are comfortable riding a bike for 2+ hours. Hills and descents are typically of short duration and longer steeper pitches can be easily walked. Trail surfaces will vary and change with occasional obstacles on trail (rocks, roots, sand) that can be either ridden or walked. We strongly recommend training for your tour by getting on a bike as much as possible to get your butt used to the bike seat!
Intermediate Rating: 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 may be suitable for an intermediate tour. Note: Challenging Intermediate Tours require more mountain biking experience due to consistently more challenging terrain.
Advanced Rating: Suitable for experienced mountain bikers only with excellent fitness and strong bike handling skills. Riding is primarily on rugged 4wd 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.
Singletrack Tours: Singletrack trails add an element of technical difficulty because of the narrowness of the trails. If you are considering an intermediate or advanced singletrack trip, previous experience riding singletrack trails is essential.

Updated April 28, 2020:

To All Rim Tours’ guests and potential guests:

Grand County/Moab’s Health Department has issued direction for a gradual re-opening of the Moab area to visitors with a partial opening of hotels and overnight accommodations starting May 1. At this time camping other than in private campgrounds will not be open until the National Parks re-open so if you plan to visit, please check the status of these facilities before assuming they will be open or closed.

This means that Rim Tours will be able to resume running tours and our staff’s and guests’ health is our top concern. We will be implementing new procedures at every level of our operations to ensure sanitation and guest comfort throughout your time with us. Please contact us for more details if you are considering a trip with us soon or in the future.

We are happy to begin working with guests to re-schedule their spring tour to a near or future date and will be starting to reach out to those who had to cancel over the past couple of months. We are excited to begin guiding again and know it will be a new reality for all of us, so please understand that this is a time of transition and we appreciate your patience. Thank you for sticking by us during this challenging situation and we look forward to riding with you soon.
