The Moab, Utah, area is one of the finest in the world for all sorts of mountain biking; in fact, some experts call Moab “the Mecca of mountain biking.” Its stunning red rock formations and unique blend of national park and desert make it a favorite for bikers of various ages and experience levels. Rising above Moab are some of the highest peaks in Utah. Moab has become a mecca for mountain bikers and our Lasal Loop ride allows you to enjoy this areas vast terrain even during the warmer summer months. Enjoy stunning views of the area surrounding Moab, Canyonlands and Arches National Park. Few places on earth offer the unfiltered connection with nature that can be found in a ride in the Moab area. Riding through dense aspen forest and past giant ponderosa pines helps to awaken your senses. Stay on the lookout for deer and elk as you make your way to our evening’s campsite overlooking the Fisher Valley. The descent from high mountain terrain takes you past overlooks of the Dolores River and down Onion Creek – with 28 creek crossings to cool you off. Over 4000 vertical feet of descent will bring us to the Colorado River. There is no better way to see southern Utah and the Moab area.
