I did this bad ass ride last weekend and was one of my funnest rides I ever had in a long time. I haven't ridden in the Moab area for like 12 years and I thought I NEEDED to go ride down there sometime. A friend around here that used to live in Moab told me about this trail and said that it is like the best mountain bike trail in Moab. It is shared with motor bikes and I saw quite of few motor bikers and also mountain bikers alike. I liked it how it was technical and had plenty of slick rock and dirt/sand mixed. The weather was nice to me this time and it couldn't be better, there was no wind and the temperature was really nice.
Some fun ridin' sand.

On the map below, I went on the blue markings which is the Sovereign Singletrack. I went northbound which is the harder way(all uphill). I am kind of glad I went that way because I can do better on the climbing than the downhill on technical trails. I thought I was going to do the out and back but after I went to the other parking lot on Dalton Wells Road, I was worn out because it so technical. I was going to go back to the Willow Springs Road trailhead by going on the pipeline road but I couldn't find it. I did ride on the Sovereign ATV Trail for a while to find it then I turned back and called my ride to pick me up at the Dalton Wells Road. This trail was great and I would definitely go do it again next time I go to Moab. Next time I will camp there in the sand and that will make the trip more exciting.
This is a video of some girl riding on the trail I got from utahmountainbiking.com. I think I know this Kellie and does look like the Kellie I am thinking. If she is the one I know, she is in a different mountain bike team now.
