This is a popular jeep route, and has a lot of slick rock and is a rough ride. Extremely demanding for bike riding, but spectacular views.

I didn’t do the whole loop, just climbed to the top and turned around and descended back down. Lots of fun ledges you have to bunny hop and little drops on the way back down. Lots of line choice, pretty much slick rock the whole way down. It’s all hike a bike on the way up, but it’s 900ft of fun, pedal free descending on the way back down. The climb would be super fun on an ebike.

A bit of hike a bike involved ascending from the river, but it's not that bad and you get a nearly 300 vertical metre slickrock descent when you turn around. Between the amazing scenery and how unique the line was, it was worth it for me. But you have to consider it an adventure ride rather than going out to rip singletrack.

MoabRim is Rather Challenging and Interesting and Scenic, but also rather frustratingly arduous to get to (via MountainBiking up MoabRim Trail NW side, or Hike-a-Bike HiddenValley Trail SE side)...
HiddenValley (Hiking) Switchbacks (on the SouthEastern 'end' of the MoabRim) is an ExerciseInFutility (with a MountainBike, UP-Especially, yet Down as well)... HiddenValley was may 'preferred' access to MoabRim (before I spent 2 hours Hike-a-Biking less than 2 miles to get up to the actual 'HiddenValley')... It is nice that they allow MountainBikes, yet it is rarely utilized because it is a rather arduous Hiking Trail... InOtherWords; I am glad I used it to get up to HiddenValley and MoabRim, but I probably wouldn't ever do it again, nor recommend anyone I know to attempt that method...
