STEEL BENDER
Take a mellow ride through the back routes of Moab to view fascinating natural features and great spots to stop and enjoy the Moab atmosphere. This trail has mild to medium obstacles that beginner riders should have no issues overcoming. Near the middle point of the trail is a wall obstacle that is as fun as it is technical. It’s a great ride any day of the week.
