Rim Rocker

Trail Overview

The Rim Rocker is a 160-mile route winding it's way through aspen groves, over red rock, along the edges of sheer cliffs, and across rivers. Spanning from Moab, Utah to Montrose, CO., the track varies from rocky two-track to perfectly graded gravel. Each mile offers something exciting and different, and every bend holds a new view. The trail, which is really a series of connected forest roads, was developed to help relieve traffic in the already strained Moab region, while simultaneously breathing life into the towns of Nucla, Naturita, and Montrose through a boost in tourism. Topography is defined by ravines, slot canyons, cliffs, domes, and winding river valleys, with a few high mountain peaks thrown into the mix. Plant and animal life are equally diverse, with everything from deer and aspen trees to low desert shrubs and rattlesnakes. This trail is only recommended in Summer and Fall, although occasionally it can be accessed in late spring.
