Description
This is a series of 7 trails ("Magnificent 7") which make up a new (mostly) single-track incarnation of the classic Gemini Bridges shuttle descent. The
seven trails are: Bull Run, Arth's Corner, Little Canyon, Gold Bar, Golden
Spike, Poison Spider and Portal. Gold Bar is 1.2 miles of singletrack and 2.3
miles of 4x4 road. Golden Spike is 5.2 miles of nasty 4x4 road. Poison
Spider is 7.4 miles of rough, churned up 4x4 road. Choose your poison.
The singletrack at the upper end (including a loop called the "Great
Escape") are great fun and make any inconvenience totally worth it. The
attached GPS map suggests a variation of singletrack down to the end of
"Little Canyon," then take the "Gold Bar Rim 4x4 back to Gemini Bridges
Road to it's lower terminus (and where you want your shuttle vehicle to be
waiting).

Review: Just got back from doing the Bull Run and Auth's corner section. Both solid intermediates with constantly changing scenery; not jaw-dropping, but still very cool. Bull run has probably 400 foot elevation change, and is a lot more fun going down. I suggest entering Gemini Bridges (also called Little Canyon) road from the road to Canyonlands, i.e. Rt 313. You can bike down to the way-cool arches on the trail, then bike up on the road to make things easier.

Review: Just did the first 4 bits and then exited on the 4x4 trail. Really really great riding - fun, scenic, not too challenging and lots of chances to get up some speed and do some drops etc. You must ride these.
Review: Gemini Bridges Road has long been a classic Moab ride largely because it was a (mostly) fast and easy descent. Now you can see the same scenery and accomplish the same elevation drop following some new and well-designed singletrack.
