Slickrock Bike Trail
Slickrock Trail
A legendary mountain bike route at the Sand Flats Recreation Area on Moab's eastern outskirts. It runs over smooth sandstone known as “slickrock” and is considered a mecca of mountain biking.
The Slickrock Trail is about 17 kilometers long, marked by white dashed lines painted on the rock. It has steep slopes and tight turns, suiting experienced riders; beginners can try the roughly 3-kilometer practice loop. The Sand Flats Recreation Area charges a small entry fee and is also the starting point for the Hell's Revenge off-road trail. Bike and car rental and guided tours are available in town. Rock surface temperatures in summer are extremely high, so bring plenty of water.
