Two Tortoise Rock

Two Tortoise Rock Loop
Two Tortoise is an ATV and 4x4 route connecting the Gold Bar Rim 4x4 road to the Bull Canyon road. It's located just below the Gemini Bridges area north of Moab. Most riders will use Two Tortoise as an alternate more-fun route to Bull Canyon, or as one side of a loop including the Little Canyon Singletrack . Our "featured ride" is a loop using the lower Gemini Bridges road, part of Gold Bar Rim, Two Tortoise, part of Bull Canyon, and the Little Canyon Singletrack.
