March 1-4 Annual Skinny Tire Festival The four rides of the Skinny Tire Festival highlight Moab’s different road riding opportunities.

The next two days leave the valley and climb the beautiful canyon roads into red rock country to Dead Horse Point and through Arches National Park. Channel the energy of riding through this grandeur of Moab’s canyon country by putting purpose behind your cycling.
