A group of us went on a quest to do The Whole Enchilada, and spent the last couple months training up for it. Unfortunately a storm came in and closed Burro Pass, the highest part of the ride at over 11k feet, but we were able to start at Hazard County which gets to about 9200′. It was a perfect desert day, and we got to experience the eclipse while we were up on the mountain.
For our last day we went for a quick crank out to Moab Rim and Behind the Rocks. Dragon took Best Biff into a pool, and we had great fun on Sand Hill, which was a little more rideable than usual because of the extra dampness.
Because the roads were wet and muddy it wasn’t possible to shuttle all the way up to Upper Porcupine Singletrack like we did the last few times we’d been here. But it was still epic. Beautiful place, awesome riding, Hard to beat as a MUni trail, anywhere in the world.
As always, Moab was spectacular. Day 1 was Slickrock, and Dragon and I went out early and did the whole trail. Definitely one of the more dramatic loops we’ve done.
