Well to get us in the mood for some Mt. Biking, here is a game just like the slot canyon game.

Rules:

Use the last letter of the previous posted trail. Then find a trail that starts with that letter. A picture every now and then would be nice but it is not required. This site will really help you. http://utahmountainbiking.com/ IMO it is the best local site for Mt. Biking info.

Ok the first trail is my personal favorite:

The trail is in Moab -- actually about 13 or 14 miles north of Moab. It is by the Dalton Wells trail if you have ever done that one. Last month they did the Tour of Canyonlands race on it. Everyone is pretty stoked about it since it is really the only "singletrack" trail in the Moab area. UtahMountainBiking.com has some info about it (http://www.utahmountainbiking.com/trails/sovergn.htm)

Pritchett canyon.
south of moab. If you do not have a wife that will drop you off at the trailhead, you would want to hire a shuttle.

So, is it some good downhill?

It's up and down most of the way with a drop down white knuckle hill to the river. probably a 1500 foot drop overall in 20 miles.

El Pollo Elastico

Rode this trail while in Seattle area (it's actually at a place called Galbraith Mountain near Bellingham, WA).

So, I'll take something starting with 'O' or if you translate the name it's 'The Elastic Chicken' so I'll also give you the 'N'.

Kokopelli is the big trail (140 miles) that is between Fruita, CO and Moab. Usually it's a multi-day event and you have shuttle riders, etc. There's a link on this site:
