Arth's Trail is a lovely little singletrack trail just below Gemini Bridges north of Moab. The first (classic Arth's Corner) section is 1.5 miles long, connecting the Gemini Bridges road to the Metal Masher road. The second 1.7 miles (new in 2020) continues further downhill to join the Gemini Bridges Road just above the Gold Bar 4x4 fork at Little Canyon. The riding on Arth's is intermediate in tech requirement, but suitable for experienced young riders and advanced beginners.
Arth's has a small trailhead on the Gemini Bridges road 0.15 mile below the lower turn-off to the Gemini Bridges parking area. 100 feet from the trailhead, Arth's connects to the downhill ends of Getaway and Bull Run . Across the road from Arth's trailhead is Great Escape . Lots of riding options here.


Below I describe a 3.4-mile beginner's loop ride of Arth's Corner (the easier upper half) starting from Gemini Bridges parking and returning via the gravel road.




To connect to the top of the Little Canyon trail, turn right on the Metal Masher dirt road. Pedal a short distance back to the Gemini Bridges road. Cross the road to the continuing Little Canyon singletrack.


The Little Canyon singletrack heads east then south above the Gemini Bridges Road and the Gold Bar 4x4 road junction. The combination of Arth's, the lower half of Little Canyon, then Great Escape makes a very nice loop ride. This loop is 8 miles with 700 vertical feet of overall climbing.
