Ride Information

 

Trail description

The trails that you will ride are a mixture of two track jeep roads, single-track trails with Sand, packed sand, dirt and some sandstone "slickrock". The sections of trail on the "slickrock" will disappear at the edge of the sandstone and reappear on the other side of the sandstone section so you will need to be heads up looking for the flagging across these rock areas. There are a few miles of gravel road to get you from one great trail to another and some areas that are flat out rocky. There will be water stops and snacks set out for your horse along the way.

 

Footing

Horses can easily trot the packed sand and sandstone sections since they maintain their 'grip' on the sandpaper-like surface of the "slickrock". We recommend that horses be shod or booted as the footing changes throughout the ride. Steel shoes grip great as do boots and experienced barefoot horses will do fine. 

​

Maps and flagging

The trails will be marked by a different color of flagging each day for each distance to make them easy to follow. Detailed maps will be provided to every rider. It is recommended that all riders download and use “Avenza” on their cell phone to follow the trails. Electronic maps will be made available to registered riders prior to the ride dates to be downloaded as a geo-referenced pdf. There is a free version of Avenza that allows you to download up to three georeferenced pdf maps and it is easy!! Download the FREE Avenza App and a FREE QR Code Reader App before you come to make loading maps really easy!!!

We will have maps available as .GPX and/or .FITs format for GPS users. And I understand that some folks like to have written directions so we will see if I have the time for that!! 

​

Vet checks

All Vet checks will be out of camp. We will supply alfalfa & grass hay and lots of fresh water for horse and rider. A trailer will haul all crew bags to the vet check. Family and crews can easily find the vet check and are welcome to come out to observe or lend a hand.

​

Lunches 

We’ll supply lunch & drinks for the riders & staff (including vegetarian food) both days. 

​

Weather

The spring and fall weather in Moab can vary widely, but typically the temperatures range from 50-70 degrees during the day and 30–40 degrees at night. It’s good to plan for the full range of warm and sunny to rainy and cold, so bring a blanket for your horse and a jacket for yourself!
