Just thought I'd let eveybody know (especially those that are coming to Moab
at Easter) that we have a new LEGAL play area in Moab! The new owner of the
tram that goes up onto Moab Rim owns about 160 acres of land (in fact the
Rim trail goes through his property, from just past the Z-Turn to the top).
This guy is creating a bunch of new downhill mountain bike trails, hiking
trails, and a new hard-core open area for rockcrawlers! He's trying to put
together a rockcrawling competition for later this spring, and has opened
the area to all 4-wheelers who want to come out and play. I spent a few
hours up there today (I was one of the first 10 or so vehicles ever in the
area), and created a moderate loop. The place has great potential, with
endless possibilities for moderate to extreme obstacles. Once people get in
there and start making some new routes, its gonna be great! So if you are
coming to Moab next month, be sure to set aside a day or two to check it
out.
