History
Slickrock sits on Jurassic sandstones that formed as ancient dunes; modern mountain biking culture in Moab grew around these unique sandstone plates and the Sand Flats Recreation Area developed into a global destination.
Conservation
Stay on designated trails to minimize sandstone erosion, pack out batteries and gear, and follow local rules for e‑MTB usage to protect fragile cryptobiotic soils.
Reserve your spot on the Moab Extreme E-MTB today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Expect to push and carry
Certain stretches are too steep or technical to ride—be prepared to shoulder or push your e‑MTB and practice safe lifting technique to avoid back strain.
Charge and pack spare power
E‑MTB assistance is critical; start with a full battery and carry a charged spare or power bank if available to avoid a long, heavy ride home.
Mind the exposure
Lines often run close to cliffs—ride within your abilities, listen to the guide, and choose lower-risk lines when anxious or fatigued.
Hydrate and fuel proactively
Four hours in desert heat drains you fast—carry 2–3 liters, electrolyte snacks, and start sipping immediately rather than waiting until thirsty.
Sturdy mountain biking helmet (full-face recommended)
Protects against high-consequence falls on exposed slickrock and technical sections.
Hydration pack (2–3 L) with tools compartment
Keeps you hydrated in desert heat and stores a multi-tool, spare tube and snacks.
