The Ride

Overview

Kokopelli Trail is a 5-day guided mountain bike tour from Grand Junction, Colorado to Moab, Utah with challenging singletrack & rugged 4 wheel drive trails.

This is a journey through the lands of the mythical “Kokopelli” or wandering flute player exemplified in Southwest rock art. Our route ranges from singletrack to slickrock, aspens to pinyon pines and offers sights that will wow your senses and terrain that will definitely test your riding skills. The Kokopelli Trail begins with challenging singletrack, leading to fun, rugged 4 wheel drive trails that touch periodically on the Colorado River. From the Top of the World we descend into Fisher Valley and Onion Creek Canyon, one of the most beautiful and colorful spots in Moab’s Canyon Country. The final day offers a choice of riding Moab’s legendary Porcupine Rim or Slickrock Trails. For those considering doing a multi-day tour for their first time, especially those who have little or no camping experience, we’ve written a detailed description of what it’s like to go on a multi-day tour with us.

Day-by-Day Itinerary

– Mileage: 26 miles (42km)\nElevation: +3,200 ft / -3,055 ft The Kokopelli tour begins just west of Grand Junction at the official Kokopelli Trailhead in Loma, CO. The trail immediately ascends via singletrack to the top of the Mack Ridge where you'll be treated with views of the Grand Valley below. We'll traverse the western part of the Mack Ridge before descending into the Mack Valley. After some road riding through Mack, you'll find the trail takes you through Rabbit Valley, an area known for dinosaur digs, and finally out to the rim overlooking the Ruby and Horsethief Canyons. When you roll into Knowles Canyon Overlook Campground, you'll have earned a cold beverage and a relaxing evening at camp. Enjoy the sunset from our camp on the canyon rim! > Note: This is one of the hardest days of the tour. Be prepared and stay hydrated.

– Mileage: 37 miles (60km)\nElevation: +2,650 ft / -3,150 ft Wake up to warm coffee and watch the sunrise over the canyons! After a robust breakfast, we'll head southeast on the 4x4 road toward the singletrack. Highlights of today include the Mary's Loop area, then Westwater and Western Rim trails. You'll descend on very fun, rowdy singletrack, then ride near the river to our campsite. This full day of adventure includes riding along the benches and rims of Westwater Canyon and Ruby Horsethief Canyons.

– Mileage: 26 miles (42km)\nElevation: +2,800 ft / -2,500 ft Crossing the Dolores River via Dewey Bridge, we'll climb up the sandy, rocky Entrada Bluffs Road, crossing the paved road and continuing on 4x4 trail through Cottonwood Canyon.

A purpose-built 4x4 support truck carries every bag, tent, and cooler — so you ride light and free, with a lift or a break never far away.
Full Camp Kitchen

A complete mobile kitchen rolls with us, run by guides who genuinely cook. Real, fresh meals in the heart of the backcountry.
Fresh Trail Lunches

Midday spreads built right on the trail — never sad, squished, pre-made sandwiches.

Hearty, satisfying dinners cooked fresh every evening under the desert stars.
Cold Drinks, Always

Plenty of water and ice, the cold beverages you love waiting at camp, and crisp cold sparkling water out on the trail.
Camp Set & Waiting

Camp chairs, a relaxed camp, and your tent already set up when you roll in. Arrive, unwind, refuel.
