Bartlett Wash

Bartlett Wash doesn't really have a trail to speak of.   After going through the gate climb up a short hill to the slickrock on the right.  Stay heading to your left.  You will cross one more sandy area.  Keep heading to the left. It will eventually open up into a slickrock playground!! Here you will find lines as easy or as difficult as you want!!

How to get there: From Center St. in Moab drive 18 miles north on Highway 191. Turn left on Blue Hills Road and go 2.5 miles, then turn left on a lesser traveled dirt road. Drive 0.8 miles to a fork in the road. Take the left fork. About 1/2 mile you will cross a really sandy wash, continue up the hill on the other side of the wash and take a right at the top of the hill. Drop down into Bartlett Wash and find a nice parking area under the grove of trees.  Jump on your bike and continue down the road going through a cattle gate.   The "trail" is about 40 yards on the right.

Distance: 7 miles out and back (but you'll put on a lot more playing on the slickrock!)
