Re:Moki Dugway 2 Months, 1 Week ago  
We rode the Moki Dugway in Oct 2007 on a day trip from Moab, UT. We looped from Moab to Mexican Hat, then North up the Moki Dugway to Natural Bridges National park and back to Moab. It didn't seem that radical riding it from bottom to top but the wife wouldn't stop pinching my sides. She starts up whenever we ride on gravel. Ouch!!!

Re:Moki Dugway 2 Months, 1 Week ago  
When we were out there I recall looking over the side of the road and seeing all of the wrecked cars at the bottom of the hill . . . folks that didn't quite keep it between the ditches.

Here's another video for you - not quite as scary.

When Riding Utah did you do the Devils Backbone. It bluff that rises out of the desert with a narrow lane road and many tight curves with drop offs on both sides. Scared the you know what out of me

Re:Moki Dugway 2 Months, 1 Week ago  
What part of Utah is it located? I don't think we rode it. Did ride thru the mile long tunnel in Zion National Park, that was pretty neat. Of course we were like little boys when riding thru, had to keep revving the motor with the noise bouncing off the walls. You know boys and their toys.

I knew we missed one when we bypassed that and rode thru the Escalante canyons and Bryce. Road thru Zion also. The tunnel was a blast.

Thanks for the Picture shows guys.

I wish I could find someone to pay me to ride my bike across country all summer long. How come I can't get a job like that???

Re:Moki Dugway 2 Months ago  
cruiser, is it called Hell's Backbone? If so, here's a map. The route takes 1hr43min and covers about 44 miles.
