Last trip of the season to Moab

So over fall break we went to Moab for the last time this year. It was so much fun, as it always is. We stay in a campground just above the Slick Rock trail and it is just 10 bucks a night per car load! The only downside is that there is no shower, so we have to take a portable one when we go. Overall, just to tell you how cheap the trip was, we spent 150 dollars between my husband and I to go down there with some family. That was for food, gas, and where we stayed, for 3 days in total! Awesome trip and you can plan it super cheap too!

So about the trails. I rode on 3 trails this time around, Slick Rock, Sovereign and one called Monitor and Merrimac. They were awesome trails! Monitor and Merrimac was the shortest of the 3, it was super fun, but last time I had a Full-Suspension and this time a Hardtail....I noticed a difference to say the least. Sovereign was the longest most challenging of the 3. It was definitely fun, and I learned a lot, but it was long and hard and would love to have a Full-Suspension next time for this ride too! The last, but probably my favorite was Slick Rock. It was really smooth overall and pretty much the whole trail is on Slick Rock, hence the name. At first it can be a little intimidating and there are some really steep parts, but it was the best and I'd recommend any of these trails for those that go down to Moab!
