Connection to the Killer B downhill
The Bar B Loop is part of the Moab Brand Trail system, located a few miles north of Moab. The Bar B loop itself is only 2.5 miles in length, but the shortest ride using this trail will be about 10.5 miles.
Including the climb on the Bar M , there will be 500 vertical feet of climbing. The western half of the Bar B has some short sections of advanced-technical riding.




At the southern end of the Bar B loop, the Killer B downhill route branches off to the right. You'll climb over the ridge on doubletrack, then head back on smooth doubletrack that becomes a slickrock path along the edge of the bluff.
Once you arrive back at the Bar B's beginning, you can continue with the Bar M loop, or you can turn right and ride the Rockin A over to the Circle O .
