Klondike Bluff 4x4

Visit Website

Length:
8.2-miles out & back from Klondike trailhead (14 miles out & back from highway)

Difficulty:
Some sections physically challenging (~600 ft climb); technically easy/moderate

The Ride:
The Klondike Bluffs Trail represents a step up in terms of exertion and skills required, but is still enjoyable for fit novice mountain bikers. The route follows a jeep trail across Moab Member slickrock imprinted with fossilized dinosaur tracks. The jeep trail terminates at the boundary of Arches National Park, where a short hike leads to the top of the bluffs and an impressive viewpoint. The Klondike Bluffs Road from Hwy-191 is bumpy but maintained for passenger cars (except when wet) to the trailhead and it’s worth driving to the trailhead and skipping the ride on the dirt road.
