Each departure date requires a minimum of four participants in order to run. Please do not make travel arrangements until you have received confirmation from Rim Tours.
Fly into Salt Lake City (SLC) or Grand Junction (GJT) and rent a car to make the drive to Moab (four hours from Salt Lake City and two hours from Grand Junction). Alternatively, you can fly directly into Moab (CNY) via Denver.
Since the trip begins in the morning on Day 1, it is recommended that you plan to arrive the day before and arrange for hotel accommodations for the night before the trip start.
Rental bikes are based on availability once Rim Tours has your height. Rim Tours has full-suspension Santa Cruz mountain bikes available for rent (included in cost). Helmets are also supplied, but it is recommended that you bring your own clip-in pedals and shoes if that style pedal is preferred. If you are bringing your own bike, Rim Tours strongly recommends that you have your bike checked out by a reputable shop prior to departure. Rim Tours can help you coordinate shipment and building of your bike. If you'd like a carbon bike upgrade, Santa Cruz Bronson 27.5 or Santa Cruz Hightower 29ers may be available ($120 plus tax).
All camping equipment (tent, sleeping bag, sleeping pad) is included in the cost, and will be transported in the support vehicle. You'll just need to bring a small daypack with personal items and clothing.
Yes, anyone may have their own tent at no extra cost.
Rim Tours carries a solar shower and washbasins. Depending on group size and weather, solar showers are usually available every other day, while washbasins are available every day. Unscented baby wipes work great for quick cleanup after riding.
You won’t be disappointed with the culinary skills of the Rim Tours staff. They serve delicious energy-packed meals with a lot of variety to satisfy all tastes. They can accommodate special diets, and provide sodas, lemonade, Gatorade, and plenty of water. Alcoholic beverages are not provided, but feel free to bring your own.
Most expenses are included in the trip cost. Plan on bringing extra money for tipping guides as well as pre- and post-trip transportation, lodging, and dining.
You'll receive a packing list from Rim Tours upon booking. They are also happy to send a packing list if you would like to see one before booking.
We highly recommend purchasing travel insurance for all trips. Travel insurance allows you to seek reimbursement if you are forced to cancel your trip for unforeseeable reasons, or if you need to cover medical help, emergency transport, and/or theft or accidental damage while traveling. For travel insurance, we recommend VisitorsCoverage as a provider.
We recommend you visit the local government websites where you plan to travel and review the required documentation for entry, current restrictions, and general recommendations for travel within the area. We encourage you to also visit your home country's embassy website if you are traveling to a foreign country. Requirements can change rapidly. Please be sure you stay abreast of the requirements and restrictions for anywhere you plan to visit. You can also enroll in the U.S. government’s Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) and you will be sent updates if the situation in your destination changes. You can find the program link at https://step.state.gov/.
