Monitor and Merrimac bike trail in Moab

[Sombeech]

The Monitor and Merrimac bike trail in Moab was brand new to me, I've never heard of it until I went with some scouts this weekend.

This is an easy slickrock loop, roughly 6 miles long. There is the occasional sand pit, and stretch of dirt singletrack, but the majority of this trail is slickrock.

A group of 12 year old boy scouts with intermediate mountain bike skills completed this loop without incident.

On the Western part of the loop, about halfway, there are Dinosaur bones you can check out. I unfortunately found out about this after the ride.

The sign at the gate names the trail M & M, and I thought this was the actual title until I did some further research.



You'll also see the Halfway Stage Station at the trailhead.
