| Directions - This trail is pretty remote,
there are a few options on how to ride it. You can ride it from the
lower Gemini lot as a lolipop, Ride it from the upper gemini shuttle dropoff,
Do a super loop shuttle and ride From Gemini upper lot, to eagles perch to
goldbar to Portal (28 miles 2800 vertical), or last but not least, drive
your vehicle in and park somewhere near the loop, maybe at the gemini -
metal masher intersection?? Route from Upper Gemini - Route finding is a little tricky, I suggest you carry one of the detailed moab maps of this area, in addition to bikerag topo's.. From the upper gemini parking, go downhill for 4 miles on dirt road, you will see a small sign for gemini pointing right, TAKE A LEFT, travel just 50 or 100 ft and take your first right on art's pasture.. (an alternate route would be to keep going straight and follow metal masher).. At mile 7.53 you will meet up with metal masher, keep going straight, your in for a nice 2 mile gradual climb up some nice rock. At mile 9.73 note a right turn marked by blue ribbon.. You can take it now, or go straight out to eagles perch for view . Once you start following the road from blue ribbon its pretty easy to follow, white marks and lots of black skidmarks from jeeps.. Rock eventually turns back to dirt road - you will pass many side roads, at mile 15.48 you intersect with the main road that leads to Gemini bridges (if you take a right).. From here it depends what kind of ride you planned.. If you parked at the top of gemini, take a right and head back up.. To hit goldbar, rim take a left.. If your not doing this ride as the Goldbar Super Loop, I would suggest driving a car in and making it a loop. Unless you like riding lots of dirt road. If you drive in far enough, the loop can be as short as 9 miles but not sure where parking is cool. Description - The ride starts off as mello as can be, easy dirt road, not sure how sandy it is because we rode this just after a good rain.. The climb is great, very shallow grade, with some nice rock.. From the top down its awesome fun rock & dirt road with some really fun lines to surf, few drops, one really cool tunnel area.. Good use of your earned vertical.. Loops - |
