DETAILS<\/span><\/p>\n

Access to this trail is best by shuttle service.\u00a0 Without that it is a long, hot uphill ride to the trail head on La Sal Loop Rd.<\/span><\/p>\n

    If you are an avid mountain bike rider you probably heard of the Porcupine Rim.\u00a0 This is an advanced level trail and you should only attempt if you have experience with technical downhill riding.\u00a0 When making the arrangements for a shuttle, be sure they take you to the start of the Kokopelli trail and not the access from Sand Flats.\u00a0 Kokopelli is more down hill.\u00a0 Sand Flats has a long up hill. No need for that.\u00a0 The trail is well maintained with beautiful scenery the entire way. I highly recommend.\u00a0 The last mile is the most technically difficult and I found myself getting off the bike to walk.\u00a0 The trail at that point is at the cliff edge and many have to walk over large boulders.\u00a0 The trail exits onto Route 128 so you have to ride back to Moab.<\/h4>\n
