Bike the Colorado River Trail
Travel back millions of years, one pedal stroke at a time. Bike to Moab Giants Dinosaur Park with us and turn a family attraction into an adventure in its own right. This ride follows Highway 191 north out of Moab, past sweeping red rock scenery and the entrance to Arches National Park, before arriving at one of the area's most unique stops: a 45-acre outdoor dinosaur park with over 100 life-size dinosaur replicas, real fossil tracks, and a museum bringing the prehistoric world to life.
Whether you're traveling with kids who can't get enough dinosaurs, looking for a fun half-day outing that combines riding with sightseeing, or just want an easy reason to explore north of town, this ride delivers. With a rugged e-mountain bike doing the heavy lifting, the miles between Moab and the park fly by, leaving plenty of energy for exploring once you arrive.
Why Ride an E-Bike to Moab Giants?
Moab Giants sits roughly 9 to 11 miles north of downtown Moab, at the junction of Highway 191 and Highway 313, the turnoff toward Dead Horse Point and Canyonlands National Park's Island in the Sky district. That's a fun but genuinely long ride on a standard bike — on an e-mountain bike, it's an easy, comfortable outing that turns "getting there" into part of the adventure instead of a chore.
Our Moab Giants route follows Highway 191 the whole way, tracing the base of the Moab Fault with red rock cliffs rising on one side and open desert on the other. It's one of the most family-friendly long-distance rides we offer, pairing real miles in the saddle with one of Moab's most memorable stops for kids and dinosaur lovers alike.
