Know before you go
- BLM calls Pipe Dream a tough trail with very narrow, steep corners and a lot of exposure. Walk the edges you do not like.
- Locals hike and walk dogs here constantly. Keep your speed down and watch for hikers (BLM).
- Turn around at the north end near Doc Allen Drive and ride the same line back.
- Close to town and fully exposed. Ride it early or in the cool months.
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 "Pipe Dreamer ride, parked at Pipe Dream South 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.
