Gemini Bridges is an easier ride for the Moab area.  The reason I gave it a 3 rating is due to the long climbs, both out to the bridges and then back to the trailhead, there are also a few sandtraps to contend with as well as a little slickrock challenge on spur to the bridges.  The views on this ride are incredible!  Take a good map, there are lots of side roads up on top!  It was well signed the day we road, but I wouldn't trust the signs to always be in place!

How to get there: This ride can be ridden as either a "point-to-point" or an out and back.  I prefer the out and back.  The trailhead is 10 miles north of Moab on Highway 191.  Look for the parking area on the east side of the road with the old mine car along side the train tracks.
