This video covers what is arguably some of the best Dual Sport destinations in the Moab area. Shot with a GoPro Hero 5 Black. Edited with Final Cut Pro. Check out my other videos on my channel: RIDEFREAKTV.

I moved to Moab in 1996. This video's list should be a right of passage. If you haven't ridden them then you need to. Don't forget to enjoy the scenery.

It's crazy just how many of these I've done in my Xterra 4x4, and now I want to go back and experience them from a dual sport...

Great selection of trails! These are pretty much the prettiest trails in Moab. Take potash Trail, spend some time on white rim, head up Schaeffer switchbacks, and then come back down Long Canyon. Take Highway 129 to and from this loop. This makes for a really great day of riding. Make sure to get the free day pass for white rim trail before you do this, it can be done the day of. Lockhart basin is essentially an extension of Hurrah pass. Include the optional side route of Lockhart Canyon for a 60 mile two day trip. We did this, and our campground was right in the middle. We have never experienced such solitude in our lives. There was no moon, clouds, wind, lights, people, background hum of a city, glow from a nearby town in the sky, or any sign of human life for the entire night. It was so quiet you could hear your heartbeat. It was exceptionally therapeutic, a special night.

If you get a chance, go to the other side to the Dollhouse (Maze District), it's only a few miles (as the bird flies) from Lockhart Canyon but almost like a different world over there. Thanks for commenting!

Chris, That was stupendous! My heart was so touched to see your compilation!!Nothing but the best of the best... so nostalgic and happy that I've had the opportunity to experience ALL those places! I'm know in part, you're the motivation for having seen and ridden these places. Watching your videos years ago inspired me to see them as well. Nothing but awesome memories on those flawless routes! ...however, there was one route you mentioned that had a minor flaw: Route "129" is really Route "128", but it is the only one on Asphalt, but that part's not your fault ;-) Thanks so much!

Thanks for the great vid. Your vid ends with "Lockhart basin" which does not seem BB friendly as you state, but is there also a Lockhart Canyon that is part of the easy jeep route out to Chicken Corner? I watched an easy Jeep vid ride yo Chicken Corner and the said they were going thru Lockhart Basin ... wondering if they were confused and were really in Lockhart Canyon?
@RidefreakTV2 жыл бұрын
Yes, that's exactly what happened, on the road out to chicken corners there's a distinct LH turn up a slot canyon that's anything but easy (going that direction) to get to Lockhart Basin which is the next basin beyond the one encompassing chicken corners. You can see it if you pull up a map. There's no "easy" way to get to LB from the north.

Wow! Great compilation. Sticking this in my future trips play list. I was thinking Cane Creek was more of a dirt bike ride than a dual sport. Is there an easy out?
@RidefreakTV4 жыл бұрын
Kane Creek is an out and back for most people, the first part where the video is shot is easy graded road then it splits, the left continues on into Kane Canyon and the right takes you up over Hurrah Pass and on to Chicken Corners or into Lockhart Basin. The ride out to Chicken corners is big bike friendly. The rest of Kane Creek is technical smaller bike stuff. If you can see most of those places on a trip to Moab you'd have done well, it's allot of riding between some of the spots in that video. Hey Joe Mine and Rosegarden Hill are the only two places in that vid that aren't BB friendly.

This is the part of Kane Creek thats dirt bike but you could ride the 450 on it. Probably not the Big KTM though: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4ubiZaqm8qhgJY
