We're bringing the mountain bikes along this time, looking for some trail guidance. My boy got his first 24" last year, we've been tearing up N Utah - nothing too tough though as he's still learning. Any experienced Moab MTBers here that can suggest some easy to moderate trails that a 9 year old can handle?

I have never ridden in Moab but we are bringing bikes as well and have been looking at trailforks and mtbproject. Check out the Moab Brand trails, they are just north of town and seem to have a system of ez to technical and looks like it would have a few good beginner loops.

The Klonzo trails off of Willow springs road are on the easy side. I rode these trails when I stayed out on Willow springs road BLM land a few weeks ago.
There is another trailhead called Klondike. I didn’t ride these but the terrain seems similar from what I saw as I drove north out of Moab today.

@qslim and anyone else who wants to ride.

I'm going to ride the Slickrock warm up trail in the morning (Wednesday) and then ride up Sand Flats Rd to Falcon Flow which is an intermediate track back down to the carpark.

Friday, I might ride Slickrock (which is the bicycles on Hells Revenge), or organize a shuttle up to Porcupine Rim.

Anyone who wants to join text me on 858-three-seven-6-99-one-9

Yeah man, less than ideal. Hopefully the sheriff finds a meth head riding it through town, but I’d bet it was someone on their way out of the KOA. 4 camper spaces on my row cleared out between last night & this morning.

We mt biked Slickrock this afternoon. It was great. Make sure to bring your climbing legs, some steep climbs (not long, but steep), downhills were a blast. You should defintely ride the whole trail if you have the time, it took us just under 2 hours, but we didn't stop to chit chat or take pictures.

The practice loop was hard. I walked 30% of it 😂😂

But I still did falcon Flow after which was awesome!

We rode Navajo Rocks today and it was awesome. We did a 17 mile loop but you can do much smaller loops if you want. Big Mesa trail was my favorite, Ramblin had the most fun.

We rode Navajo Rocks and Ramblin Trail today also. I think we were on the trail at 1000 or 1100, finished @ 1ish.
