Riding the highly technical trails of the McInnis Canyons eastern end of the trail (starting on the famous Mary’s Trail) led to a severe mechanical that took a couple of hours to repair in the dark. The first trip nearly 20 years ago was a (predictable) disaster with a group of six underprepared riders heading west from Loma to Moab departing at 1AM in the moonlight. This will be my third time riding the Kokopelli Trail, and I am hoping for the least amount of time spent negotiating the roads, single track, sand, sun and wind that make up the day-long sojourn. Shouldn’t be too cold on the shoulders of the La Sal mountains at 8K feet pre-dawn.
#Dark moonlight rixing full
Seth: Full moon September 20 th, sufficient daylight to finish without lights if we get a 3AM start.
Here are actual texts from me to my riding partner and back as we were planning a September 2021 Kokopelli Trail single-day ride. Typically, cyclists take 3-5 days to complete the trail, some folks do it in one long day. The trail takes riders over the La Sal mountains, and deep into several canyons between Moab and Dewey Bridge on the western end of the trail. There is over 14k feet of climbing on the Kokopelli, with most of that bunched up on the Moab side. are connected by the 142-mile Kokopelli Trail. The Kokopelli Trail travels through remote canyon country and the Colorado River corridor in Utah and Colorado and can be ridden in either direction.
