7-Up

Visit Website

Length:
9.5 miles

Difficulty:
Intermediate and above. Average grade about 5%.

Type of Ride:
Start the trail at the Mag-7 Trailhead. Surface is mostly broken sandstone thru Pinyons and Junipers and a seldom used 4×4 road. Three ST go-arounds are provided to avoid particularly difficult road sections (ledges & sand). Follow the paint marks carefully. Trail makes its way across the upper reaches of Sevenmile Canyon then flows along a Kayenta Fm bench below towering Navajo Ss mounds before ending at the SR-313 switchbacks. Ride the pavement back to US-191, Moab Brands, and then Moab (about a 25-mile ride).
