NEW! 3 HALF-DAY RIDES | MOAB 3D RATE SCALE | MOAB 3D SERVICES | MOAB 3D TRAILS
Mountain Bike Moab
3 Days 4 Nights
At the heart of the Moab "3D" package are three mindfully selected guided mountain bike day rides tuned to challenge specific skills and fitness of a solo, couple, or group of three or four riders. The 3D comes with or without four nights of in-town ACCOMMODATIONS at four levels of luxury. Comfortable shuttle transport to and from trailheads is included. You may book any available dates at any time of year and reserve the package as open or private. Since groups are skills-specific and scheduling is set by client(s), it is advisable to reserve at least two months in advance to be able to set skill level and dates you prefer. Do not count on joining a package on specific dates at a given skill level, though this is possible with open packages. Most 3D packages are booked by private parties and peak season dates go as far as a year in advance. A private 3D package may be reserved with upgraded ELITE LEVEL SERVICES, offering a higher level of luxury and after-ride entertainment and dining, further flexibility in ride schedule and frequency, access to our GUESTHOME AND BIKE SHOP, and the chance to add or substitute other activities during your stay. Bike rentals are not included in standard 3D costs, but are included in upgraded Super Elite packages. Click on BIKE RENTAL FEES for current costs and discounts for three day packages. CONTACT US for answers to specific questions.
Skills-Specific Ride Series
The 3D is based on three day rides, from 4 to 8 hours each. Each ride is chosen with careful consideration to your abilities. A questionnaire helps us determine a level of skill and interests. The first day in a series serves as further skills evaluation along with an environmental skills lesson. Specific trail requests are considered after the first day ride.
Dreamride LLC offers hundreds of routes and thousands of miles of trail in the Moab area. Every ride series is flexible and different, custom designed to take weather, skills and special interests into consideration. Standard packages remain within 30 miles of Moab. Upgrading to Elite level extends range from 30 to 50 miles from Moab, and allows for a much more flexible schedule. Super Elite upgrade extends range up to 200 miles from Moab with remote lodgings.
The first party to book a 3D package determines skill level. Anyone of that estimated skill level may join the group, up to four riders. Private groups of five to eight ride with two guides together or in separate pods. Smaller private groups of lesser skills requiring use of two guides may require additional guide fees.
About evaluations: The first ride of any series serves as personal evaluation and environmental etiquette instruction. These duties are performed in one of three trail networkswithin 20 miles of town. These areas were chosen for the variety of routes and surfaces that can be chosen "on the fly" to accommodate the skills and fitness of the particular group. Carefully mapped diverse routes offer challenge for experienced riders while not confronting the novice or intermediate with continued vertical exposure. All evaluation areas facilitate, as best is possible, evacuation in case of injury.
Directly below is a sample of a popular 3D ride series for a group of INTERMEDIATE SKILLED RIDERS:
Day One ~ evaluation
Klondike Bluffs Area
A classic Moab ride that can be relatively east to very difficult. We can combine slickrock with technical singletrack and/or endless miles on rugged jeeps roads. This is the perfect area to present any group with many challenges specific to a range of skills. After many years of taking almost every group out here at least one in their stay, our guides know this area like no others in Moab. We make it interesting every time we ride there.
5 to 7 hours 12 to 20 milesAttractions: Klondike Bluffs is a great place to get to know a variety of classic Moab terrain challenges, such as slickrock, sand, stone ledges, and one of the rare technical mountain bike singletracks in the Moab area (strong intermediate to expert). Lots of mild to moderately technical slickrock, loose rock, sand and ledges allow newcomers to get taste of classic Moab terrain. If you are a rockhound, be sure to tell us before we take you to Klondike Bluffs. There are many interesting mineral deposits and formations in the area. Klondike Bluffs is the best dinosaur tracking destination near Moab. Dreamride has been active in the fight to preserve these remarkable resources in the face of overuse and abuse. Some of the more popular sections of trail with dinosaur tracks alongside have incurred damage, but we get you to where tracks are unharmed and pristine for photography. Areas of geological and historical interest abound, such as old movie sets, many mine shafts and vast exposed areas of the Moab Slickrock Tongue, the formation that gives name to style of riding. Stone age middens are scattered across the rock. Some free form play is possible after learning basic skills of environmental protection. Some of the most stunning views in Arches National Park are available from Klondike Bluffs.
Day Two ~ intermediate to advanced skill level
.
Sovereign Trail
5 to 7 hours 10+ milesThe Sovereign Trail was built as a direct result of Dreamride's 1996 solitary permit into rare Utah State Sovereign Lands long ignored by mountain bikers until those in the land agency hired to deal solely with our permit opened the land up to other uses. We apologize for the expanding numbers of visitors, but this trail is one of the only technical singletracks set up specifically for mountain bikes in the Moab area. If three days of singletrack is all you crave, we do offer much more singletrack in a nearby location. Click on FRUITA, COLORADO MOUNTAIN BIKE GUIDES AND VACATIONS
Attractions:
Technical singletrack with sections to challenge even the most experienced cyclist. Most of the trail on top of the small plateau is relatively easy, affording the ability to enjoy the surrounding scenery, which is comprised of Moab Slickrock Tongue of Arches National Park, bright colors of the Morrison Formation, and expanses along the Moab Rim.
Day Three ~ intermediate with advanced options
Courthouse Pasture Options
Courthouse Pasture has become our most popular intermediate to advanced ride area. It is a huge plateau above and west of the Moab fault. We ride through tight canyons, across streambeds, through sand and over convoluted slickrock and rocky sediments, up and down steps and crags to the edge of a 600' vertical cliff overlooking Arches National Park. The views are spectacular and the downhill run back to the shuttle is a blast. We can complete a huge loop around the Pasture or perform a number of figure 8 rides in the middle, taking advantage of the bare rock and old mining roads. Your guide can choose to make the ride longer at any point by tacking on up to three loops once the primary loop has been completed.
From 5 to 7 hours Up to 25 milesAttractions: Dinosaur quarry; beautiful canyons; breathtaking views into Arches National Park and the La Sal Mountains; bizarre rock formations; a breathtaking climb and descent; challenging trail surfaces of all kinds from quicksand to smooth slickrock; Indian middens; perfect for action photography.
3 Half-Day Ride Series
This reduced-rate 3D package takes advantage of newly created singletrack mountain bike parks near Moab, plus a couple of select areas we have been using for many years. The proximity of the new bike parks reduces shuttle times and offers up a range of novice to advanced singletracks that are frankly great fun and, as are all Moab trails, very scenic and geologically interesting. This reduced-rate version of the 3D is mainly for novices to intermediate riders who appreciate a shorter shuttle ride, shorter ride time of from two to four hours (still a lot of riding for most people) and environmental micro-group services at a lower price. The 3 half -day ride format allows those on holiday to ride in the morning, then take on another activity in the afternoon.
We notice there are a lot of tour companies in Moab advertising "small groups," but that is a relative term. We see them at the trailhead, and frankly, the groups are not very small by comparison to our standard mode of operation. Dreamride was the first to offer these services and we have stuck by our small groups environmental guiding philosophy. Our groups are frankly, tiny. We ONLY do MICRO groups of from one to four clients, so a day tour with us is going to be more enjoyable, unless you like a larger group of mixed skills to clog the trail in front of and behind you. We promise to get you away from those big groups. We know the tricks. Scroll down for rates.
