I did not shuttle this making it a farily tough climb to the top. Scenic but sandy in spots. Been 8 years since I rode it.

Did this ride as a shuttle. Drop off at the top, ride down and take a jeep road up to an overlook and to the Outerbike Bar M site. Took about 2.5 hours. Just technical enough to keep it fun. It was a blast, very little dabs and a couple of dismounts for me. Albeit the first time down on a demo bike.

I agree that this is best done as a shuttle, unless of course you are out for a long climb to get in the cardio...it can be done but it is a long climb on exposed Jeep rode. The view from the bridges it great...and I think this would be a great trail for an intermediate rider getting into downhill riding. There are some very steep drop offs (read: fatal), so tread lightly in some spots and don't ride this at night.

This was a great ride. I would recommend it to everyone that visits Moab. It's a Jeep road trail. You ride down about 10 miles, pedal about 2, then down another 2. A shuttle car would be helpful otherwise your at the mercy of a 12 mile ride up the mountain or a $40 shuttle ride. My friend & I went for the shuttle. Which I felt was well worth it. Porcupine Shuttle is who we went with since we heard he was the least expensive & the only person that would answer the phone. Super nice guy that had great advice for area trail riding.

We started at the very top and used this to connect to Gold Bar Rim and Portal. Nice smooth beginning to a rough finish.

This is a great beginer trail, it was my first ride in Moab. At the arches there is a sign in memorial to an idiot who tired to drive his jeep across the arches, crashed, and then died. Don't end up like him, walk, don't ride over the arches.
