Reconstruction to Begin on Mineral Bottom Road Switchbacks near Moab and Canyonlands National Park's White Rinm Trail

E-mail: melindabrimhall@grand.utah.gov

Reconstruction to Begin on Mineral Bottom Road Switchbacks

On December 2, 2010 Central Federal Lands Highway Division (CFLHD) of the United States Department of Transportation’s (USDOT) Federal Highway Administration issued a contract to KSUE Corporation of Moab, Utah, to commence immediate reconstruction of switchbacks on Mineral Bottom Road (Grand County Route 129). Construction is anticipated to commence December 13, 2010 and is expected to continue through spring of 2011. CFLHD will be administering the project, including contract management, throughout the duration of the construction process. During the construction process, access to the switchback and construction area will be restricted and no public admittance will be allowed.

In August of 2010, a storm destroyed the switchbacks, making the road impassable. Grand County partnered with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Moab Field Office to apply for funding through USDOT’s program of Emergency Relief for Federally Owned Roads.

Grand County wishes to express appreciation to countless stakeholders for the public support of this project. Specifically, staff from the BLM Moab Field Office took immediate and critical measures in obtaining emergency funding for reconstruction of the road. Additionally, efforts of staff from Canyonlands National Park and Dead Horse Point State Park, as well as support from Governor Herbert and Congressman Matheson, helped to secure emergency federal funds for the road’s reconstruction.

Moab for Bicycles: Mountain Bike, Road Cycling, BMX

Moab has been known for three decades now for mountain biking. The petrified sand dunes have become a challenge of balance and technique, plying knobby tires to various degrees of slickrock angles and pitches. The Moab mountain bike trails have evolved from old uranium mining accesses turned 4-wheel drive route. More recently, single track trails are being approved by land administrators and built by volunteers, in many cases. The City of Moab, has, this whole year, been developing new bike lanes and bridges, paved segments in the Mill Creek Pathway and a dirt trail aloft in the valley’s west cliff wall. The collaboration between government and private industry has produced the Intrepid Trail System at Dead Horse Point State Park and more. Mountain biking breeds alliances.

On the scene, came the Moab Skinny Tire Festival. The Festival organizers have changed the name to Skinny Tire Events as they have developed a mid-summer moonlight ride and a fall Moab Century Tour too. Moab sees more road cyclists visiting. The Italian style Gran Fondo bike event dons the May event calendar in Moab. It is believed that the October 2010 dedication of the Moab Canyon paved pathway will further enhance Moab's attraction to this group of athletes.

The Department of Energy has offered to build a trail from Courthouse Wash, along the Colorado River, to hook into Hwy 279, a.k.a., the Potash Road. Meetings to decide the maintenance of this new trail and how to integrate a Hwy 191 underpass in the Courthouse Wash flood zone kick off thoughtful consideration among the Grand County Council, Trail Mix, Moab Trails Alliance, the Department of Transportation and other interested public. If paved it would serve more road cyclists, wheel chair access and another segment for parents with stroller or kids on roller skates and scooters.

Moab City had 41 volunteers turn up in November to lend strength to clearing rocks for a single track above the western utility corridor. This Pipe Dream Trail will get signs this winter. This trail extends from the Hidden Valley trailhead to an area behind Moab’s Mountain View subdivision near Aspen Avenue. Mid-access is located at Jackson Street, or the west side of Hwy 191 straight forward from 4th East. It will be shared with pedestrians too.

Only last year, May 2009, Dead Horse Point State Park celebrated the opening of two new loops for hiking and biking. Intrepid Potash, headquartered in Denver, has five production facilities, one notably in Moab, Utah. The solar salt drying ponds can be seen from the rim of Dead Horse Point State Park. A relationship between a government and private organization formed to complete the Big Chief and Great Pyramid Loops, parts of the Intrepid Trail System. During the summer, Dead Horse Point State Park collaborated with the Moab Area Travel Council to provide free park admission in a campaign managed through Salt Lake City movie theaters. And this even precluded the release of "127 Hours".

Less influence for BMX biking exists in Moab. However, the city has set aside land off of 500 West in Moab for the BMX bicyclist. The bumps and ramps have seen BMX aerial stunts and tricks of bikers of different ages. There is a skate park on 400 North 100 West, that at times, also sees BMX trick bikes. Adjacent to the Old Spanish Trail Arena is a bit of land developed for BMX use, however, the property on 500 West became so much more convenient to youth access.

To put together a bike event in Moab Utah, the Moab Travel Council offers free consultations for permits, event services and logistics. Contact 435-259-1340, to speak with the Facility and Event Promoter of Moab.

Moab Bicycling 2011 - Trail news, Events - Go Utah!

Another Great bike event line up will occur in 2011. Equally exciting? The bike news for Moab! An October 2010 ribbon cutting ceremony celebrated another piece of the North Moab Recreation Areas Alternative Transportation Plan with the completion of the paved Moab Canyon pathway. Ride from the Colorado River to Hwy 313 into Island in the Sky of Canyonlands and stay off Hwy 191. The Moab Canyon is a result of the Moab Trail Alliance effort to radiate trails from the predestrian/bike bridge (hub) which was dedicated back in May 2007.

New trail routes are being hand built by volunteers to further expand the non-mortorized Bar M Mountain Bike Focus Area. Poison Spider Bike Shop's manager, Scott Newton, recently promised every Tuesday his employees would get paid, but have to volunteer to do trail work on Deadman's Ridge. The North 40 trail has been approved for the Bar M system, but unlikely to be in place until next fall (2011). Hey why not come ride and set aside a half day to volunteer this year? Meanwhile the city is working, along with volunteers on another new one, the Pipe Dream Trail. Located under the Moab Rim and clinging to the west valley wall over the utility corridor, parts of this trail are ready to ride.

October - November Events of Moab Utah 2010 - Event Planners Come to Perform your Site Inspections

As the autumn approaches, the full moon of Moab Utah appears to grow enormous. The light a reasonable companion for moonlight walks on trusted trails of sandstone in and around Moab. The autumn is perfect too for a site inspection of Moab's meeting and event spaces. In addition, there are a series of events, many are annual events occuring in the fall. Plan travel to see these events in action.


The Inaugral OuterBike brings the vendors of Las Vegas' InterBike to a selection of Moab's trailheads to enable consumers to test the 2011 models of mountain bikes. This is unprecedented in the United States. InterBike has appealed to the retail shop owners for years in distinguishing new models. Now Moab will bring additional brand awareness to the mountain bike industry, as consumers shall review the bikes in the days to come.

Tour south of Moab to the temporary city of mountain bike athletes who race the broken ground over 24 hours race of Moab by Granny Gear. It is astounding to experience the technical support and the organization of a support crews for teams, waste removal and Emergency Care for a remote desert location.

On a smaller scale the KTM Rally will ride motorcycles which are special in that these motorcycles are rugged for the designated off-highway terrain surrounding Moab, however, these bikes are also street legal, which make them a favorite for rides out of Moab.

For the artful side of Moab, the new plein air festival will provide workshops, as well as, rules for the painting competition side of the week. The festival precedes the official Art Walk of October 9th and will exhibit some of the canvases created from the festival at the Moab Arts And Recreation Center mid-town Moab. Later in the month, Moab has a literary Festival, affectionately known at the Confluence. The 2010 theme is water and authors Debra Frasier, Jack Loeffler, Craig Childs, and William DuBuy.

Rifle Deer Season opens in October. That's why the Canyonlands Half Marathon organizers hold The Other Half on a Sunday in October. The cool autumn air is perfect for this particularly challenging half marathon along the Colorado River on the Scenic Byway 128 of Moab.

The threshold of November arrives with the Chili Peper HO-DOWN mountain bike festival. Super Downhill races test the strong contenders. Other riders are encouraged to bring their trick bikes for demonstrations at a day event of Pumpkin Chuckin, a fun day of slings, trebuchets, catapults competing for distance with a far flung pumpkin. There are vendors and activities located at yet another remote venue of Moab.

Endurance Equestrian riding is well designated out past Moab's famous Monitor and Merrimac buttes north of Moab. Participants riding this western terrain is every bit nostalgic of great western tales of the Robber's Roost gang, Butch Cassidy and renditions of western history that had even been captured by the famous John Wayne films known to be shot here about.

An Adventure Race Championship will be held at the Red Cliffs Lodge.

Moab's Folk Festival can be found at the Center Street Ball Park, the Red Devil Auditorium and Moab's Historic Star Hall. Let's take a breath. Yes, this autumn for site inspection of Moab would be worth ones while. Food and Beverage services about town doing the thing they do best, inside or outside on some pretty special patios around Moab. Accommodations, keeping guests snug as a bug in a rug, throughout the commotion of a fun filled autumn time in Moab.

Winter Moab Jaunt

Winter is dazzling in Moab.
Here are ski tracks headed from the Moab Brand Trails going underneath Hwy 191 toward the Gemini Bridges Trail.

Most winters skiing must be undertaken in the La Sal Mountains.

A little bit of heaven really.

Please wear adequate eye wear. Poles are recommended for hiking. The snow is not so deep, Deep enough. The walking is uneven. The poles aid balance and decidedly provide upper body exercise.

Was thrilled to see river activity at the Moab Boat Ramp too.

Remember Room Rates are lower in Moab in Winter. It would be a fine time to get out of your town, have a board conference or structure meeting in Moab.

All this snow and the roads have been clear for the Moab Area Travel Council, traveling to Salt Lake City, Denver and Las Vegas for conferences and exhibitions this winter. Travel.
