TRAVEL FEATURE I TOURING MOAB ON TWO WHEELS
P86
We chose to start day two a little later, hoping it would be
a little warmer. The low 40s versus the low 30s we shivered
through yesterday would be welcomed. We hopped on the
adventure bikes for the second day in a row and headed north
out of town on pavement for a few miles. A little cold, we
hooked a left off Highway 191 onto the dirt and headed out to
Gemini Bridges. We quickly ran into a partially frozen half-mile
snow climb that proved to be a little challenging for some of
our group. A couple runs at it, and with a little help from the
how I would work it into a ride, but
I thought it would be a cool off-grid
place to spend the night.
We rode Lockhart out to the
end through Lethal Bridge Natural
Arch and again stopped to take in
the views of the Colorado River
below. After a full day of chas-
ing down dead-end canyons and
sand washes, we turned back and
headed for Hurrah Pass, hoping
to catch the sunset for epic photo
ops. As the sun went down, so did
the temps, so we headed back to
our warm Airbnb. We managed to
make a full day out of a "short" 75-
mile ride. Not the typical mileage
for an adventure bike, but it was a
nice change of pace.
