Description

Added by Chris Engelsman

Pipeline to Pipe Dream is a fun 6-mile loop overlooking Moab.

There are multiple trailheads to access the Pipe Dream trail in Moab. This time we chose to start at the Jackson Street parking area and rode the pipeline trail south for approximately 3-miles. This section of trail is a 2-track road that follows, you guessed it, the gas pipeline. It climbs around 730 feet with a punchy climb within the first 1/4 mile.

At the Hidden Valley Trailhead, you'll turn north on the Pipe Dream single track. From this point, the trail twists and turns along with a few climbs as you descend back to your car parked at the Jackson Street Parking. Pipe Dream is less technical than Captain Ahab, making it an excellent warm-up ride for your Moab stay.

Power Dam

This is a great little swimming hole spot in Moab. A lot of locals will call it The Power Dam. It's just a short easy 1.5-mile hike up the canyon to a natural swimming pool where you can swim and hang out. This is a perfect little spot to check out in Moab while visiting the great national parks. Although cliff jumping may look appealing, the water is pretty shallow, so stay safe and avoid ju...

Camp at Sand Flats Recreation Area in Moab

The rock domes and slickrock around the campsites provide fun for young and old to scramble on, or simply enjoy the sunrise or sunset. Located just outside of the town of Moab Utah is the Sand Flats Recreation Area. The area is managed jointly by the Bureau of Land Management and Grand County Utah so State and Federal Park passes are not accepted. From the town of Moab, take East Mill Creek Ro...

Ride the Slick Rock Mountain Bike Trail

The Slick Rock mountain bike trail is a great trail option for all skill levels looking to get a taste of what Moab has to offer. The trail is unique in that it is almost entirely on rock, with only a few patches of sand and mud scattered throughout the 10 mile loop. The trail is easy to follow despite the lack of actual "trail" thanks to a series of white dashed lines winding through the lands...

Trail Run Moab's Slickrock Trail

The Slickrock Trail is well known in the mountain biking community and has put Moab on the map as one of the premier mountain biking destinations in the world. The good news for folks who don't mountain bike is that it's just as much fun to run or hike.It's a loop trail and very well marked with big white painted lines on the sandstone so it's pretty tough to get lost. There is an option for th...

It's a short 2-mile trail that starts on the rim above the Colorado River and descends 1,388.

Rock Climbing Moab's Wall Street

Moab's Wall Street is exactly what it sounds like, but nothing like the "Wall Street" you're familiar with. Several miles off Highway 279, it hugs the Colorado River on one side and a towering 500ft sandstone wall littered with climbing routes on the other. There is easy access to all of the climbing here and plenty of parking right along the routes. Bring your camp chairs to sit in while other...
