Bikepacking Moab, Utah | A Rugged, Desolate & Diverse Ride | Peaks & Plateaus Route

Last week, a handful of us set out from our can camp site outside of Moab, Utah on a 170 mile bikepacking route through native Ute land. This was my first multi-day bikepacking adventure and it set the bar extremely high. From riding near the snow capped La Sal mountains, to camping deep sandstone Lockhart Basin, the views and roads were both some of the best I've ever seen.
This route featured between 50-60 mile days on the bike, and set. 4,000 ft of climbing each day for 3 days total and 2 nights camping. I learned a few valuable things on this trip and definitely won't forget the memories made and miles traveled with this crew.

nice one ! the freedom of riding your bikes and camping is mind cleansing at its best. The stars at night were EPIC I am certain

Looking forward to doing Moab this summer, maybe just camping, but i'd like to do an overnight bikepacking trip with a group if possible.

[@joshhicks8874]

Totally! You should. There are many great places to do just an overnighter.

[@wezhira4107]

What time of the year was this?

[@joshhicks8874]

Hi there! This was just two weeks ago, end of March.

[@robertmcgee7083]

Be great when they open up bicycle trails to atvs.

미국이죠? 미국도 한 번 가보고 싶네요 풍경이 한국하고는 많이 다르네요 미국은 나라가 커서인지 마트가 안 보이네요 ㅎㅎ 님들에게 드릴 거는 없고 구독이라도 1표 드릴게요 ㅎ

[@WadeParish]

“Wrong bike”?

[@joshhicks8874]

Nah, not wrong bike. Felt confident on it with a bit of mountain bike experience. Would go hardtail possibly.

[@WadeParish]

@@joshhicks8874 No, I mean that one of you appears to say “wrong bike” to the person sitting on a motorcycle.

[@joshhicks8874]

@@WadeParish oh, yes, haha in that moment…I was thinking wrong bike. But I guess if hiking a bike then no bike is the right bike. 😅
