Klondike Bluffs / EKG
Slickrock tech and flow north of town. EKG out, Dino Flow back is the classic combo: about 11 miles of pure desert riding.
Trail beta
For EKG, use the Northern Klondike trailhead: Hwy 191 about 8.5 mi south of I-70, turn east onto the dirt road at the 'Northern Klondike' sign. EKG is a traverse, not a loop: no sustained climbing, just up-and-down tech the whole length, and it's the most technical trail in Klondike. Most riders link EKG with Mega Steps, Dino Flow, or UFO as a stacked loop out of the north lot. Zero shade, zero water, and the dirt road in gets washboarded. Drive slow.
When to go
Season runs March through November. Klondike sits north of Moab on BLM land and dries out early in spring, making it one of the first Moab systems to come into shape after winter. Fully exposed desert terrain means summer rides need dawn starts: midday temps routinely exceed 100F with no shade. Fall (October-November) is peak season with mild temps and fewer crowds.
