This “tour” is a bit different from our typical trip offering. We created this trip for those who don’t want a guide, don’t want to be supported during the week and generally just want their own self-serve adventure with a bit of logistical assistance. Each day we relocate a very deluxe camp setup (provided by Ready Camp) of an 8x8 popup tent, full kitchen, dry firewood, camp chairs, fresh water, coolers of food and beverages (you purchase prior to trip) and all your personal gear like tents, bags and clothing. You can go as cheap or deluxe as you want on food, beverages and amenities!!
The 142-mile Kokopelli Trail that connects Fruita, CO to Moab, UT is a true desert classic. This diverse route snakes it’s way along the Colorado River on the first half of the ride (including some world-class singletrack early on), skirts it’s way around the north side of the La Sal Mountains, and finally spills riders down an incredible, must-do descent into Moab, UT. Along the way you’ll enjoy very comfortable campsites, ready and waiting for you, in some inspiring locations.
Arrival Day: Riders should be prepared to meet us the night before in Fruita, CO to pickup coolers from Ready Camp to do your grocery and beverage shopping for your 4 days...
Day 1: The trail starts out with a bang on some incredible singletrack, which very soon overlooks the mighty Colorado River. The trail peels away from the river a bit and parallels Mack Ridge for a spell where river views open back up as do stellar views into the Black Ridge Canyons Wilderness to the south...
Day 2: While not as stunning as Day One’s cliffs and canyons, the first half of Day Two delivers its own romance before arriving at Fish Ford midday...
Day 3: Settle in – today is the hardest day of the trip. It’s incredibly gorgeous and includes some amazing transitions between desert and lower mountain forests, but it’s hard. Start your day climbing away from the Colorado River and toward Fisher Valley skirting Entrada Bluffs on the left...
Day 4: Day four begins by finishing the climb to the top of paved Castle Valley Road. The Kokopelli Trail takes an abrupt right hand turn not far from the summit and experienced mountain bikers might recognize this area – you’ve joined the world-renowned Whole Enchilada ride. Descending down the trail you’ll take in views of Castle Valley and soon have the choice of staying on the Kokopelli Trail…
