Full pull on Dino Flow! Drive a bit north of Moab and youll find the Klondike Bluffs trail system. A bit more low key than what I rode in Moab, but still plenty of fun to be had!

Finally convinced my friends to slog up Edison and all the way over to the top of Sheep Corral! Plus a bit of Montezuma extra credit at the end!
