Trail HAPPENINGS - August 2026

Our Trail Crew closed out the spring season at Navajo Rocks, the trail system where much of their maintenance work this season was concentrated. Riding borrowed eMTBs, the crew got to experience firsthand the results of months of hard work: smoother lines, better flow, and trails in noticeably improved condition. There’s something fitting about a crew getting to enjoy the very trails they’ve spent the season caring for.

After a few weeks of well-deserved rest, the Trail Crew is back in action for the summer season. This year’s focus areas include the Whole Enchilada, trails adjacent to popular campsites, and sections impacted by the Pack Creek Fire.

As always, this work wouldn’t be possible without the support of our community and partners. Keep an eye out for the crew on trail this summer, and don’t hesitate to say hello.

The Moab Trail Mix Committee is a Grand County advisory body dedicated to the development, maintenance, and stewardship of non-motorized trails throughout the Moab region. Open to the public, the committee unites trail users, community members, and agency partners — including the BLM, U.S. Forest Service, National Park Service, and Utah State Parks — to collaboratively plan and build trails serving hikers, mountain bikers, climbers, equestrians, and more. Over the years, the committee has helped shape hundreds of miles of trails that have made Moab a globally recognized outdoor destination, from beginner-friendly networks to world-class technical routes.
The committee meets the second Tuesday of every month from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at The Grand Center, 182 N. 500 W., Moab. All are welcome.
