Dead Horse Point is among Utah's most magnificent state parks, offering a great introductory taste of what Moab's mountain biking scene is all about. Travel to 2,000 feet above the Colorado River for a biking tour that provides panoramic views of the Canyonlands area.
Meet your guide at the Chile Pepper Bike Shop on Main Street, where your bicycle and helmet rental are waiting. After a brief orientation, take a quick drive to the trailhead and set out on your adventure. Marvel at the area's spectacular sculpted pinnacles and buttes, with rock layers that reveal millions of years of geologic history. Traverse the rolling terrain and take on short climbs and downhills, feeling your adrenaline pumping the whole way.
This journey takes you through one of the world's most photographed places. Enjoy the Intrepid Trail in the morning before stopping for lunch at the park's main viewpoint. Take on the Twisted Tree and Prickly Pear trails on the west side of the park during the second half of the trip, then enjoy great views while descending into the park's Island in the Sky District. Make your way back to the starting point, where you experience ends with a ride back to the bike shop.
