Navajo Rocks

Overview

Responsible Recreation:
It is important to stay on the trail. Our trails are surrounded by living soil called Biocrust. Off-trail travel damages the deserts delicate ecosystem for decades after. Find out more about our soil from local non-profit: sciencemoab.org/radio/

Portable toilet systems are required in Grand County. Be prepared to carry human waste out on the trail. Human waste takes over a year to decompose in the desert. This keeps it clean for everyone riding after you. Buy one at any of our local gear shops before your ride.

Temperatures can reach upwards of 100 degrees on the trail. Exposure to the sun is extreme. Always ride with enough water and electrolytes for the length of your ride and the temperature of the season. It is important to have more water than you might expect.

Always let someone know where you are and when you expect to be back. Cell service is limited. Always stay found. If lost, stay where you are. Wandering makes it difficult for Search and Rescue to find you.

Ride within your limits. There are few access points for Search and Rescue. It will take Search and Rescue time to get to injured individuals on the trail.
