"Klondike Bluffs" Overview

Klondike Bluffs Trail, Moab, Utah: 1) Difficulty and mileage; Easy to moderate. 4.8 miles (riding) each way plus 1/2 mile (hiking) each way. 2) Best web site; www.utahmountainbiking.com-click Trails-click Moab Area-click Klondike Bluffs. Page includes small map. Point to point mileages must be calculated. 3) Maps; When you get to the Klondike Bluffs description there is a link: "for a one-page printable riding guide for this trail, click here." Do it. Trails Illustrated also puts out a nice waterproof/tear proof map with many Moab area mountain bike routes on it. It is map #501. I found it available at mapoutfitter.com & everestgear.com. The multi-agency office in Moab may have it also. 4) Jurisdiction; Bureau of Land Management, last 1/2 mile National Park Service.

This is a great trail, easy enough for beginners, scenic enough for all. Actual dinosaur tracks are an attraction. Awesome scenics, especially the final part. Bring your bike lock if you want to, although there's not really a bike theft problem here. Most people out here have one already. At any rate don't miss the last 1/2 mile hike.
