Canyons near Moab?

[carlj75]

Hello everyone! Just a couple of questions for you. I am being dropped off in Moab for 5-1/2 days during the last week of May. I will have my mountain bike, hiking, and climbing gear. I have an idea of what mountain bike trails I am going to ride, but need some advice about canyoneering. Can you recommend any good canyons within biking distance of downtown Moab. I would like to ride to the area and possibly do a overnighter. I would like to go to the Robbers Roost area, but it looks a little bit out of range according to the map. Thanks in advance.

Top of my list would be

Elephant Butte

Medieval Chamber

Robbers Roost is a really long bike ride from Moab, probably 100 miles. Your best option might be to try and find someone looking for a partner who will pick you up as they pass through. Your best bet would be someone looking for a partner for the Cedar Mesa Canyons (Gravel, Cheese Box, Black Hole) http://climb-utah.com/CM/index.htm

Good luck
