Shuttle parking for Maple
Hollow DH!
The Oak Hollow trailhead on Traverse Ridge Road is now fenced and
official. As you finish the DH, you must turn right downhill and go to the
BST, cross under the road, then climb up to the trailhead on the north
side of the road. We hear that vehicles parked elsewhere along
Traverse Ridge Road may receive tickets. Trail page...

New routing on Twilight Zone
at Three Peaks
I ran into an unmarked trail fork that kinda messed me up -- I didn't know
what trail I was on, all the way to the Petrified Whales - Three Peaks
intersection. So my new map shows the option. Also, a trail video that
will have you drooling for Three Peaks. Trail page...

Update to City Creek Trail
page!
Not exactly a renowned favorite, the City Creek trail is worth doing if
you're hungry to taste ALL the trails in the St. George area. It's a bit
too techy for casual riders, yet too short for hardcore out-of-towners.
But it's fun, and it's right on the edge of town, and it's a quick ride. And
if you're curious, I made a video. Trail page...

Updated Temple Quarry Trail in
St. George
This is a trail to an abandoned quarry on Black Hill used by the early

but it's been 15 years since the last time I rode it. Trail page...

Updated GPX area file and map
for Dutch Hollow.
There have been several trail re-routes in Dutch Hollow recently,
including Dutchman Way, north Sage (now Top Notch), and Boneyard. The new
Flatline extends two miles north on the east side. So I have a new
topo map for you to print and take along. Plus a trail video to show what
the area is like! Trail

Feeling Lazy and want to take
it EZ?

Back to the Klonzo riding
area!
The most under-rated riding area in Moab. Solid intermediate trails like
Dunestone with a gazillion connection options, easy family stuff like
Carousel, and nice expert stuff like Gravitron. Three new trail videos

Black Dragon Wash... an

Another awesome bit of unknown
rock.
Pioneer Rim was one of the first trails I rode in St. George. Rode up from
a motel in the 90s. Not many people ride it, or even know it's there. Too
bad. Check out the video! Trail page...

Hog Hollow Creek singletrack!
And Porcupine!
Yeah, the connection between Hog Hollow and Porcupine was closed by

by the next day. Take your chances. The Hog Hollow page has been updated
to include Hog Hollow Creek and the Porcupine connector to Peak View.

Ross Creek at Jordanelle.
Easy, fun, and scenic.

Levitate.
Boy, is the gravity crowd happy! But you may be wondering if this new

if you're a good experienced rider and want to learn to take air, this is
your trail. Trail page...

New Rodeo trail in Moab!

Lightning Switch at Cedar City
Here's the story on the latest installment of the 50-mile trail system in
the Thunderbird Gardens area near Cedar City. Kind of a tough climb, and a
bit of gnar on the downhill. Not a ride for the delicate. Add Thor's
Hideout to this loop, and it's a satisfying bike outing. Trail page...

Update to the Barrel Roll trail
Very popular trail, but most early-intermediate riders
