The Moab trail system includes hundreds of trails that range anywhere from easy to difficult, giving riders an almost endless array of terrain and scenery. The expansive trail systems of Moab encompass thousands of miles and feature every type of terrain imaginable. There are rocky trails, sand dunes, washes, canyons and mountain trails. The elevations of Moab can go all the way from 4,000 feet up to past 12,000 feet.
