runs 140 miles between Fruita, Colorado and Moab, Utah. My neighbor and I rode our eMTBs on the segment that mostly hugs the Colorado River between Dewey Bridge and Cisco Landing today, 20 miles out-and-back. It was moderately technical in spots with steep climbs on loose and bouldery slopes, but overall it’s a magnificent ride on a beautiful day.
View upstream with the trail traversing through the ledgy Morrison Formation (Upper Jurassic).
View downstream of the Colorado River, running at about 15,000 cubic feet per second at the nearby Cisco gage.
There are occasional route markers beckoning one to follow the humpbacked frisky flute player.
