Mountain biking in the U.S. is as varied and vast as the landscape itself. From the slickrock playgrounds of Moab to the forested singletrack of Vermont, alpine descents in Colorado to flowy trails in the Carolinas, the terrain changes—but the thrill doesn’t.

Whether you're chasing gravity on technical downhill runs, exploring cross-country routes through national forests, or cruising beginner-friendly paths with wide-open views, there’s a trail for every rider.

The U.S. is home to some of the most extensive and thoughtfully developed mountain biking networks in the world, with communities and destinations that cater to riders with rentals, guides, shuttles, and post-ride brews.

The ride highlighted below is just one take on what a two-wheeled adventure can look like—we’ll help you build the version that fits your pace, your level, and your love for the ride, with plenty of other activities to fill out the journey.

LOCATION: Moab, UT

Moab is where red-rock desert meets high adventure—and it’s one of the world’s great playgrounds for mountain biking. The landscape here isn’t just beautiful, it’s built for riding: endless slickrock, technical descents, epic climbs, and wide-open views that stop you in your tracks.

Whether you're a seasoned rider looking for a challenge or a newcomer eager to roll through surreal terrain, the trails deliver. Add in hiking, rafting, off-roading, and stargazing, and you've got a destination that runs on pure adventure. In Moab, the trail is always the right direction.

STAY: Sorrel River Ranch

Perched on the banks of the Colorado River, Sorrel River Ranch is Moab’s only true luxury resort—where red-rock landscapes meet rustic elegance. The handcrafted cabins and suites feature private porches, jetted tubs, and sweeping views of the canyon or river.

It’s also the perfect basecamp for exploring Moab by bike, with world-class trails just beyond your doorstep. When you're not riding, you can paddle, hike, horseback ride, or unwind at the spa and heated outdoor pool. Farm-to-table dining at the River Grill and a laid-back desert vibe round out the experience. It’s adventure and serenity, all in one unforgettable setting.

MAIN ACTIVITY: Take on Moab’s Iconic Terrain

Moab is a mecca for mountain biking, with some of the most iconic and challenging trails in the world. Legendary routes like Porcupine Rim and Slickrock helped put Moab on the map, but there’s more than just the classics. For those willing to venture off the beaten path, places like Bartlett Wash offer inspiring slickrock rides through surreal desert terrain.

New trails are always in the works, so be sure to ask about fresh additions like the Intrepid Trail at Dead Horse Point State Park, the Navajo Rocks Singletrack, and the expanding Moab Brands network (a.k.a. Bar-M Trails). For those new to the scene or looking for something a bit more approachable, Klondike Bluffs and the Moab Brand Trails offer a range of routes for all skill levels—plus knockout views.

On this ride, you'll be paired with an expert mountain biking guide who will tailor the experience to your ability and comfort level, ensuring an unforgettable adventure on two wheels.
