The Hayduke Trail MTB Tour is one of the American West’s ultimate point-to-point off-road MTB tours exploring the far reaches of southern Utah’s mountain biking terrain. The route starts near Kanab, Utah and ends in Moab, Utah. This is Utah’s world renowned “back-of-beyond” landscapes, including the new Bear’s Ears National Monument, Capitol Reef National Park and the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument. The Hayduke crosses only a few paved roads in its 440-miles of riding and as a result, offers unparalleled exploration and discovery.

The first week of the Hayduke Trail MTB Tour starts in the Utah desert town of Big Water, Utah, which is just west of Lake Powell. From Big Water, we embark on a 400+ mile mountain bike odyssey into Utah’s otherworldly back-of-beyond terrain.

In southern Utah, nature throws out the rule book. Rock shaped by 50-million years of water has sculpted a jaw-dropping landscape of weird & wild shapes. This is a region of extremes: of distance, of darkness, of silence.

The Hayduke Trail is considered a MTB Gravel Grinder. What this means is that the riding is not overly technical. The trail is small, rugged & remote jeep roads. And the riding is super fun! Prior to experiencing the Hayduke, we often hear things like, “I really want to ride singletrack”, but after riding the Hayduke, a self-pronounced “singletrack junkie” told us this was the best mountain bike ride of his life.

Join us on this small group cycling odyssey within the serpentine red rock canyons of the Beehive State.
