 | 7-Up
This mountain biking route is in the Gemini Bridges area about 10 miles north of Moab. The 7-Up Trail is a combination of singletrack (ST) and doubletrack (DT) extending 10.1 miles from Highway 313 to the Bull Run trailhead just off the Gemini Bridges Road . The trail is new in fall 2012. The trail can be used as a climbing route to the top of the Magnificent 7 trail system. This will be a big ride, reserved for stronger riders. Most riders are doing 7-Up as a shuttled downhill. Note: If doing loop ride, please also print high-res map of entire Mag 7 system (link on trail page). |
