I remember back in the day when Moab mountain biking was all just jeep roads and the famous Slickrock Trail. Now in the past five years, at least 5 new mountain bikes only trails were built each year(I am not sure, but it seems like it). I found out about most of them and wanted to give them a shot. This area I tried is the Klondike Bluffs Riding Area, it consists many singletrack trails instead of just the Klondike Bluffs Road. This place made me more excited about the area.
At first I did the Dino Flow Trail, then Baby Steps Trail which most of it was dirt and maybe 35% of it was slickrock. It was great fun and it was all climbing to the top. I had a good climb.

After I did Baby Steps, I went on a brand new trail that was just barely built this year, called UFO. More climbing and singletrack fun.
UFO had a few Switchbacks also. After UFO, I went downhill on a technical Little Salty Trail then Dino Flow then the hardest part EKG! EKG is pure fun and all slickrock with a bunch of tricky sections. At the bottom, I went on Dino Flow all the way to the north end side, the went southward on EKG, I bailed out down Little Salty and finished the ride south on Dino Flow back to the car. The ride took me around 3 hours and I think it was a total of 22 miles! I was beat.
