The Pipe Dream trail system (created in 2010) is the closest trail system to Moab. Pipe Dream is a tough trail with very narrow, steep corners and many areas with exposures. This trail is used by many locals for dog walking and hiking; please keep your speed down and watch for hikers. There are maps and signs at every junction in the system. Riders should bring their own maps for navigation. Maps are available as printouts off of this site or for purchase on waterproof paper at all local bike shops.

Getting there

The trail can be intersected at several locations, with the south end about 3 miles south of Moab west of US 191 and clearly marked by a sign. The north end is accessed of of Doc Allen Drive in Moab City.
