Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

From the overused and overpromoted Slickrock Trail to the eerie and remote digressions in and around Beef Basin, a tour through Moab, Utah proves that it is truly the mountain biking capital of the world. David Crowell's guide is a useful, bare-bones guide to over 42 area rides. It isn't flooded with photographs or drawings, but the route descriptions are right on the money and it's the only book small enough to throw into your Camelback without a second thought. --Ben Tiffany

I purchased Mountain Biking Moab a couple of weeks ago to supplement my collection of Moab mountain biking books, and after using it this past weekend, I can sell all my other books!

This is a great book. I first found out about the entire Falcon series of books from some friends. They loaned this book to me when I made my first trip to Moab. We had other books with us but this is the only one we used. I have since purchased the Falcon guide's for Grand Junction/Fruita and Denver/Boulder.

This book delivers the goods. It doesn't waste time telling you how dangerous things are.. It gives a straight-forward account of what to expect so you can make informed decisions about what trails to ride. But... best of all.. it's fun to read. Trails like "Prostitute Behind the Rocks.. aka... a nice butte." show that this guy not only lives and breathes biking.. but he also is extremely literate. A biker sence of humor cranks through each description. A must buy even if you aren't going to Moab. Sit back. Take a swig of your favorite Eddie McStiff's brew and read Mountain Biking Moab.
