Arches National Park 47 miles, 1,200 ft elevation gain. 

We are extremely privileged to ride through this gem of the National Park system. We ride on the same road as "Thelma and Louise", "Indiana Jones" and many other Movie-Greats that used this backdrop. There are three climbs on the way out, two of nearly 1,000 feet. Though the top of this ride is only 1200 ft. higher than the start, the climbs in between and incredible rock formations make this challenging ride one of the premiere road tours in the country and exclusive to the Festival. This ride is limited to the first 400 people who register for the 3 Day Festival!

The Moab Valley Tour – The Alternate Route 30 miles, 1,100 ft gain. 

Want to feel like a local? Well, this is a ride you will see roadies on all year round. Not as strenuous as the Arches ride, but a great alternative. This one gives you a real flavor of the Moab Valley. You'll begin at Aarchway Inn, and after a short trip to the south end of town you will begin meandering your way gradually up the Moab Valley. Some of you may recognize this ride as the beginning portion of the now famous "Big Nasty" route, used in the Fall for the Moab Century Tour. But no worries, no climbing the big nasty today! However, if you're looking to challenge yourself and feeling strong you may want to go past the designated turnaround point (known as Pack Creek Ranch turn off) and try your skills on the "Little Nasty". You're welcome to give it a try but just remember support vans will be turning around at the designated return spot. When you turn around at the aid station, you will begin your descent back into the town of Moab.
