Bottom of Portal Trail

This departure location is for those riding Mag-7 and exiting the Portal Trail and Poison Spider Mesa Trail.

There is a large pullout on the riverside of the road at the bottom of the Portal Trail. Parking your car here is highly recommended as it eliminates an additional 7-9 miles (11-14 km) of riding back to Moab. If you are riding Mag-7, please park your vehicle here.

During peak season, this area can fill up quickly. Additional roadside parking is available above and below the main pullout.

Important Parking Instructions:

• We load directly from this pullout. If you park elsewhere, you must still meet the shuttle here.
• DO NOT PARK IN THE JAYCEE CAMPGROUND. Parking there will cause you to miss the shuttle.
