After several days of hiking, we were ready for some much-needed mountain biking through these breathtaking backroads. Moab is full of wonderful biking trails with all different skill levels. I am not as talented as my hubby when it comes to bike riding, so we had to compromise on a trail that we could both do without making me miserable. (Happy wife, happy life, lol)
