      Home of the original Slickrock and Upper Porcupine Singletrack Mountain Bike Trails, Moab has been the ultimate mountain bikers road trip destination for years. If coming from the north Klondike Bluffs is an excellent start, and will provide some very easy kid friendly trainer trails along with some medium level trails to get even seasoned experts warmed up. The Gemini Bridges area is usually my next target trail system hosting the Magnificent 7 (aka Mag 7) which will also connect to Gold Bar Rim. Head into town and over to Kane Creek to access the more expert level trails, with Captain Ahab and the Amasa Back area being the local favorites. Every year new mountain bike trails and trail systems are added, and the town offers a lively nightlife.
