Overview

Desert Highlights is Moab's original canyoneering guide service. Although this multi-sport tour does not involve canyoneering (rappelling), it is a route that Desert Highlights' founder created in the late 1990's as a unique and self-supported way to explore wild and remote terrain. A tour of this fashion is not being done by any other company in Moab.

This tour combines mountain biking and packrafting in order to explore a section of the Green River that can otherwise only be seen on multi-day rafting trips. We'll ride our bikes down an old mining road to a point along the Green River. Here, we'll blow up our packrafts (that we've been carrying in our backpacks!), strap our bikes down to the front and float down one of the most scenic sections of the Green River Labyrinth Canyon corridor - all in a day's work!

What's Included

  • Transportation to and from the canyon
  • All necessary mountain biking and packrafting gear
  • Pick up and drop off if arranged in advance
  • Lunch Please bring enough food to be out and active for 8-10 hours
  • Bottled water We recommend bringing between 2 and 3 liters of water per person.

What To Expect

Arrive at Desert Highlights in the morning (pick up from hotel or vacation rental can be pre-arranged) where we'll outfit you with a mountain bike and packraft - a small boat that we strap to the front of your bike and will be used to float one of the most scenic sections of the Green River near Moab. We'll drive west from town for about 45 minutes and get dropped off with all of our gear. On our mountain bikes, we'll descend an old mining road and lose over 1,000 feet of elevation along the way. Once at the banks of the Green River, we'll inflate our boats and strap our bikes to the front. From here, you can sit back and enjoy an incredibly scenic, flat-water float through Labyrinth Canyon. We'll stop at an old inscription from one of the first explorers of this area, then hop on our bikes for the final (3 mile) leg of this unique multi-sport adventure.

This multi-sport tour is an excellent way to visit a remote section of the Green River, just outside of Canyonlands National Park. We are extremely passionate about our backyard and you'll gain knowledge and respect for our desert environment while out on your Moab multi-sport adventure with Desert Highlights!

Frequently Asked Questions

(8)

Q: Will I get seasick on Pedal, Paddle, Pedal: Moab Mountain Biking & Packrafting Combo?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
