Moab Motorcycle Rental, Utah Tours & Trips

The winding roads, both paved and dirt, that thread Moab's surrounding desert landscape serve as confirmation to the power of the open road. The entire area, in every direction, is a memory waiting to happen, making it ideal for motorcycle touring and off-road riding.

Route 128, two miles north of town off of Route 191, rates as one of North's America's most scenic stretches of pavement. The road twists with the Colorado River while snaking through a deep sandstone canyon. You can follow it to Interstate 70 where it emerges onto a sprawling desert plain and loop back to Moab via the Interstate. Or you can turn right, about 15 miles in, at Castle Valley and loop back to Moab via the La Sal Mountain Pass road.

Route 313, north of town off of Route 191, to Dead Horse Point, feels customized for a motorcycle. Curvy roads, high desert plains, and mind-numbing views of the canyons below highlight the trip.

Potash Road turns from pavement to dirt making it an ideal off-road ride. The dirt portion snakes along a cliff overlooking the Colorado River (portions of Thelma and Louise were filmed here) before entering Canyonlands National Park.
