MOAB Climb, The highest climb in the USA for Gravel Bikes, Moab's most difficult bike route

M.O.A.B. Climb short for, Mother Of All Bike Climbs, is a gravel bike route that could be considered the most difficult bike climb in the USA and maybe even the World’s most difficult bike route. At 7500’ feet, this climb is the second highest climb in the USA, second only to the climb of Pikes Peak. However, due to the gravel road surface this could be considered the most difficult bike climb in the US. It really is the road surface that makes this climb one of the toughest bike climbs in the World. This cycling documentary covers one of the first known successful attempts of this epic gravel ride, which should be on everyone’s gravel bike bucket list. I cover the highs and lows of our adventure as we struggle up the toughest climbs, deal with sandy roads, cope with blazing sun and 100 degree temperatures of the Utah desert. Climb some of the steepest single track around at 11,000’ plus feet elevation. If when you think of Moab bike riding, you only think of Moab’s bike trails you could be missing out. Though Moab cycling is considered the best in the world, not many people know of Moab road cycling or some of it’s epic gravel bike climbs. So if you are into gravel cycling and want to know where to ride bikes in Moab, consider the M.O.A.B. Climb. If you know how to climb on gravel then this maybe the best gravel route in Moab for you. Located in Moab Utah, the Moab Climb uses gravel roads to reach the top of The Whole Enchilada mountain bike trail at Burro Pass. This epic gravel route could be considered The Whole Enchilada of Moab gravel bike climbs as the route uses paved roads, greenway paths, gravel roads, sand roads, and single track to reach the top of one of the highest mountain bike trails in North America. The climb starts in the town of Moab Utah, USA were it follows the Mill Creek Parkway greenway path before switching to a few miles of paved road along Sand Flats Road. Many may know this road as it serves as access to the Slick Rock trail, the trail that put Moab on the map for mountain bikers. Shortly after the Slick Rock trailhead the road changes to gravel and continues its relentless gravel climb past other famous trails such as Porcupine Rim, and leaves the open desert behind. The short paved Porcupine Rim area is one of the hardest climbs on the route. As one climbs this sandy road, the ecosystem gradually changes to Juniper and Pinon scrub land. The route final reaches paved La Sal Loop for a quick decent to and then over the upper reaches of Mill Creek. That is the only downhill on the entire route. Some might know the La Sal Loop road from the Moab Grand Fando, which has the toughest climb in cycling for road bikes in the Moab area, the Big Nasty. The climbing immediately starts up again on gravel Geyser Pass climb. Geyser Pass Road actually has gravel unlike Sand Flats Roads sand. Once into the Manti La Sal National Forest the ecosystem changes again to Ponderosa Pine, Aspen and fir trees. If you didn’t know better, you would think you were in the high Colorado Rockies instead of the red rock lands of Utah. Once Geyser Pass is reached we leave the gravel and start a single track climb that many have sworn to be the most difficult bike trail in Moab. From a technical point of view Burro Pass is not the most difficult bike trail in Moab, but the single track is impossibly steep and the difficulty is piled on by the fact there is much less oxygen at 11,150’ feet. The Burro Pass climb in itself could be considered one of the toughest cycling climbs in the world. The climb is so steep that my Garmin Route shows it in a magenta color, two colors past the normal orange and red that I had seen before. The strava top ten for single track climb to Burro Pass is a who’s who of Tour De France riders and pro cyclist. This ride was accomplished using a Specialized Diverge gravel bike with Sram’s new Etap Eagle AXS 10-50 drive train paired to a 42 tooth chainring. Huge shout out to Senoia Bicycle for the setup. The trip would not have been possible without the ultimate vacation rental from https://www.MoabAdventureCondo.com I can’t say enough about how much nicer this vacation rental was on our trip verses a cramped hotel room, this really brought everything together for this epic gravel ride. The condo also provided easy access to Pack Creek, which itself could be considered one of the best gravel routes in Moab.
