Mag 7
Seven trails linked together for 28 miles of mesa-top riding. Long day, big reward.
Trail beta
Standard play is a point-to-point shuttle: drop at the Gemini Bridges Road / Hwy 313 trailhead (13 mi west on 313 from Hwy 191) and finish at Gemini Bridges, Courthouse Wash, or Poison Spider parking if you commit to the Portal. Use a commercial shuttle or leave a car at both ends. Ride sequence is typically Bull Run → Arth's → Great Escape → Getaway → Little Canyon → Gold Bar Rim → optional Portal: the Portal is a hike-a-bike death ledge, skip it unless you've done it before. Carry 3+ liters; zero water and zero shade.
When to go
Best ridden March-May and September-November. BLM-permitted shuttle operators do not run Mag 7 shuttles June through mid-September due to dangerous desert heat: the entire ride is fully exposed with essentially no shade. E-bikes are allowed on the Mag 7 system (unusual for Moab BLM trails). Plan around shuttle blackout dates for summer visits.
