The San Juan Hut System Telluride to Moab Route consists of a 6 night / 7 day bike ride, traversing from Telluride, through the Alpine Peaks of the San Juan’s, to Moab’s Canyon Country and Desert Slickrock. The 4 night/ 5 day ride follows the same route, but stops short of the La Sal Mountains and the awesome descent into Moab Canyon Country. In 2014 substantial new singletrack became available. The San Juan Hut System’s Telluride to Moab Bike Route follows 215 miles of secondary dirt roads and/or singletrack from Telluride, leaving the high alpine tundra of the San Juan Mountains to the desert slickrock and canyon country of Moab, Utah. This route is designed for beginner to advanced riders in good physical condition and offers alternate-Single Track routes between various huts to extend your trip and offer more challenges. The Telluride to Moab Route is a bit easier than its sister route, Durango to Moab, and spends a bit more time in the mountainous terrain. It is perfect for those who are first-time riders with San Juan Hut Systems or those who want more flexibility and time in their day to explore singletrack alternates.
The trip exceeded my expectations. The huts are stocked well enough that we were able to go fairly light (just carrying larger camelbacks) so the riding was a blast 'cause we didn't feel weighed down too much. I'd heard that most of the riding would be on gravel roads, but there was plenty of super fun single track available as alternates to the easier road riding. I'd guess that we rode more than half of the mileage on single track--enough that I was actually kind of glad for easy spinning on the road sections. And the trails were really good! Though we were pretty much dead tired at the end of every day, we enjoyed cooking and eating tasty food at the huts... If you're into riding bikes this was a grand adventure and I'd highly recommend it. I'd like to go back and ride the Durango-Moab route soon!
