Moab through Arches and Back
A cycling route starting in Moab, Utah, United States.
Overview
About this route
This is simply one of the finest road bike rides in the world. At just under 44 miles, you gain and loose 3300 ft (1000 meters) through one of Americas most beautiful national parks. There is no bike lane so simply ride along the side of the road and make the drivers be aware of you. Take plenty of water and get an early start in the summer months. Gaining this much altitude means you need to be ready for a change in temps in spring and fall. Winter would be pretty cold, but really warm dry days are possible. There is water at Devils Garden, the high point and far end, and there is water at the Park HQ about 4 miles into the ride. Pick up the bike path along the highway when you leave and go into the Park. There is a fee for entering the Park (not sure what it is). If you are a visitor and need a bike try Poison Spider on the north end of Moab.
