Going to Moab in the Spring and am wondering what the best trails to ride are. I'll ask a shop when I get there, but just looking for some inside info from the monkies. I'm mostly used to riding DH at Whistler and some XC in Washington State. I rode the Klondike Bluffs last time I was there, when I was a beginner, but am looking for something much more challenging this time. Thanks!!

Do some searches, especially in the ride reports forum. A few of us have posted Moab reports in the last year. Off the top of my head I would say don't miss Porcupine Rim and Bartlett Wash, but do some searching and you'll find a bunch of good info.

Speaking of Moab, what is a good time to go there? LIke it to be not too hot nor cold and not wet either.
I don't think wet is usually much of an issue in Moab--best time of year is in the Spring or in the Fall from what I understand. Avoid Moab between July and August. Last time I was there was in July, and we had to be done riding by noon as it was too hot.
