The Maze: Remote, Technical & Canyonlands Grandeur
Nestled in the most remote district of Canyonlands National Park, the Maze is unique in the world—and was famously brought to life in Edward Abbey's The Monkey Wrench Gang. The vast open skies and magical rock formations are best experienced from the saddle of your mountain bike. Our guided trip begins at Hans Flat, where incredible views reveal the many layers of this remarkable landscape.
Over the next few days, we will descend the famous Flint Trail to camp at the Maze Overlook. From here we will hike down into the convoluted canyons which give the Maze its name. Later we will ride to the Land of Standing Rocks, completing our journey with a ride along the Orange Cliffs. The riding is equally thrilling, featuring rolling technical doubletrack and a challenging 28-mile unsupported day. The Maze is a true Canyon Country mountain biking experience.

The trip was awesome and the experiences even more impressive. Claire and Shane, and Trey, were great hosts. Obviously know their stuff. Couldn't believe the quality, selection and preparation of the food. We really enjoyed the time with them. They did a great job of taking care of this 82 year old man for sure. - Gerry
Fabulous trip to see a remote part of the country. The vistas were spectacular and the adventure was real. We ‘cheated’ a bit by using e-bikes. The main benefit was being able to go farther on the out and back day than the regular bike folks. - Ian
Awesome scenery, awesome food, awesome guides! All in all an awesome trip, which allowed us to get into a part of Canyonlands Natl. Park, which would have otherwise been inaccessible to us. - Ralf
