Location & Directions:

Bar M Saloon / Chuck Wagon Lot Driving Directions

Make sure you park in the lot with the Red pin

This small dirt lot is located about 0.1 miles off Highway 191, on the right-hand side, directly across from the old Bar-M Saloon buildings.

Important: This specific location CANNOT be found on Trailforks, Google, or Apple Maps. Please refer to the Red Pin on the map for precise directions.

Parking Instructions:

Crucial: There are two parking lots in this area. DO NOT PARK IN THE LARGE BAR-M TRAILS LOT (the one with bathrooms) or you will miss the shuttle.
Park only in the small dirt lot across from the Bar -M Saloon building.
We load directly from this pullout. If you park elsewhere, you must still meet the shuttle here

Benefits of Parking Here for Mag-7 Riders:

For those riding Mag-7 and exiting Gemini Bridges Road, parking here provides immediate access to your vehicle post-ride. This eliminates an additional 6 miles of pedaling back to Moab.

This exit route allows riders to bypass the steep technical climb and double-black diamond traverse across Goldbar Rim and the infamous Portal Trail descent, keeping the Mag-7 ride at a more intermediate level. Also known as Mag-5.

If you still have energy, you can log additional miles on the user-friendly Moab Brands/Bar-M singletracks, which have trail maps at each junction. Bathrooms and a bike stand with tools are available adjacent to the Kiosk in the larger Bar-M Trails lot.

Shuttle Boarding:

Please be ready to board the shuttle 15 minutes prior to departure time to allow for bike loading.

We look forward to seeing you!

The "Brand Trails" are a network of trails located a few miles north of Moab. The trail names are based on cattle brands and spell out M-O-A-B. The easy Bar M trail forms a loop from which the other trails can be reached. Bar-M, Rusty Spur, and Lazy-EZ are suitable for pure beginners. The others require reasonable shifting skills, bike handling skills, bike handling ability, and leg power. For experts, there's Deadman's Ridge, Longbranch, and the Killer "B" descent off the Bar B loop.

A perfect area for beginners and those new to desert singletrack, this fun and scenic area also makes an excellent warm-up for riders of any level.
