The trail list is sorta done minus the groups decision on what to run . 6 June fins and things and Porcupine rim in the Sand flats rec area . This is a great place to get used to the type of wheeling in Moab
7 June Flat Iron Mesa . Great trail with only 1 shelf section which is bypassable . Lots of fun and lots of crawling .We can run this twice or go across the street and run strike ravine afterwards ... BTW Strike ravine leads to a little trail called upper helldorado .
8 June Rose Garden Hill .. And Top of the world .Its not a walk in the park .
9 June Steel Bender ...Bring food its a long trail .
10 June Metal Masher /Gemini Bridges Fun trail with lots of playgrounds ... not for the vertigo challenged .
11 June Poison Spider Mesa/Golden Spike/Gold Bar Rim and Gemini bridges . 35 miles of wheeling .. and it has a few obstacles
12 June Hells Revenge fun fun fun ... lot of steep domes and slickrock
13 June Kane Creek ...ledges shelfs and waterfalls . I snapped a leaf spring here .
14 June Behind the Rocks .... I havent ran it and it is considered one of the 2 hardest trails in Moab
15 June Pritchett Canyon . I havent ran this either ... its sick and has lots of carnage . Almost a guranteed flop in every group .
And on the short days we can go to Tater Salad and watch the show ! There is some good wheeling around Tater too .
None of this is set in stone , just kind of throwing this out there . I guess I need to make a wish list of trails to be run in a new post . I have run all the trails above but the last 2 ....
