High Point
Moab Brand ride that gets pretty much everything. Definitely GPS needed, as this route loops back on itself quite a bit to get everything in the system. This place has some great trails, but the chunkier trails such as Deadmans, Longbranch, and Circle O definitely wear you out after a while. You need some pretty advanced riding skills to clean everything in this route, but this is a great introduction to long Moab rides. Woohoo
