Description
This is the perfect introduction to Moab’s slickrock – the Slickrock Trail Practice loop, and the route described here throws a bit of the main trail in as well (we did this as our second ride of the day).
A good way to show novice/intermediate mtb-ers what slickrock is all about with an easy bail-out in case the insanely steep pitches up and down prove too demanding or intimidating.
Check out the elevation profile – no, that’s not noise!
