MOAB - HEY JOE CANYON CLOSED!

[@MrG338]

I saw this trail listed in one of the guide books, but never got the chance to ride it. Based on your video alone, it looks like a great ride (one of many in the area). What a shame about all these closures. Thank you for assembling this video. At the very least it allowed those of us that never rode that trail to appreciate it.

[@RidefreakTV]

It wasn't one of the more well known trails but it's one of the few that follows the canyon bottom in that area.

[@azdesertdog]

Well done. It's too bad about the closures.

[@RidefreakTV]

Thanks ADD. i've been recovering a couple corrupted disk drives and was able to get some old original video back. It's time consuming but it's kind of cold to do much else right now.

[@AzMtnThumper]

That’s a shame but thanks for showing it to us.

[@biketothetop]

Yeah closed along with a ton of other stuff😢, rode it years back.

[@RidefreakTV]

The video in this is probably as old.

[@jjustj]

Chris, did you know of the crashed vehicle and bike near the top just above gate at water fall?

[@RidefreakTV]

I heard about that later after I visited the area.

[@ColoradoDualSport]

No way! Why did they close it?

[@RidefreakTV]

They cut it from the recent MVUM for that area.

[@ColoradoDualSport]

@RidefreakTV unless it's a locked gate DS bikes can probably still ride it.

[@bp9749]

You watch they closed it for "Environmental reasons" ...there will be a lithium mine there in 5 years

[@infinityphotorob]

I have never ridden this one. But I would have liked too. Particularly on my ADV bike. I think we should all collectively say no to these closures. As you guys all know. This area is notoriously unmanaged and mismanaged. On top of that they are proposing a lithium mining operation in the same area. So which is it? Save the environment or ruin it? I am sick of this stuff in the west with no public input. It should be illegal.

[@RidefreakTV]

Well said Rob

[@gary6449]

Pretty sure I've ridden this many yrs ago..

[@RidefreakTV]

You're fortunate to have experienced it, san that it's no more.

[@CoBryan]

Sad as hell!!
