Great info! We are pretty cautious and we would definitely unhitch and explore before bouncing off into "the wilds". We are planning our trip through Colorado (I-70 this trip) and into the Moab, UT area for hiking and mountain-biking!!
I really appreciate your expertise!
Lot's of stuff north of town about 10 miles or more from Moab proper. Maybe go to the Mountainbike Utah website, and ask a few questions there. It's most likely going to be hot in Moab until October, so if mtn biking, bring lots of water. You might want to find some day trip stuff higher up in the La Salles, south and east of town, if the temps are too hot in the valley below. moonlight trail, or something along those lines, rings a bell, up in the La Salles, for mtn biking on some single track.
