Ride mode times every run on its own: the clock starts when you roll out of the start and stops at the finish, with splits at each marked spot. Leave Ride mode on between laps and it re-arms when you're back at the start. Times stay on this phone.

Know before you go
- Climb EKG, descend Dino-Flow. BLM says every Klondike trail is open both ways but some are signed for downhill travel; if a junction sign says otherwise, follow the sign.
- Arches National Park is right next door and bikes are not allowed on its trails. Turn around at the park boundary signs.
- No shade and no water. BLM asks riders to skip these trails when they are muddy.
- Signs and maps are posted at every junction (BLM). Carry the BLM Klondike map anyway.
Ride smart
- Water: plan on about 1.5 L for this ride. There's none on the trail.
- Signal is spotty. Tell someone your route and your time back.
- Emergency: call 911 and say "Dino Descent ride, parked at Klondike Bluffs North Trailhead, Moab, Utah", plus the coordinates from Locate me.
- Wildlife: give horses, burros and anything with horns room, and never feed them.
- Stay on trail. Desert crust and mountain soil take decades to heal.
