Brumley Ridge - Bike Ride

Brumley Ridge is a great accessible and easy bike ride in the La Sals.  Many of the bike rides in the La Sals are technical and tricky single track that resemble more of a hike-a-bike than a bike ride.  But Brumley Ridge is rideable the entire way.  The ride is a 9.2 mile loop that heads out on a 4WD dirt flanking Brumley Creek and an interesting canyon.  After climbing for about 4 miles on the 4WD dirt road, the trail connects with Geyser Pass Road, a well-maintained gravel road.  After a couple miles on Geyser Pass Road, the ride connects with the La Sal Mountain Loop Road for a fun descent on the paved road back to the start.

Mason Draw Campground, La Sals

After our sweltering night in Moab along Onion Creek, we loaded up the T@b and headed for the mountains.  The La Sals are a great place to escape the heat of Moab in the summer and are accessed from either Castle Valley or Ken's Lake off the La Sal Mountain Loop Road.  There are tons of places to explore in the La Sals.  This trip we stumbled on a great little campground called Mason Draw.  There are only five campsites and each is tucked up into the edge of an aspen grove.  No one was here and we had the entire campground to ourselves for two days!!!  The temps were in the 70's and it really didn't get too cold at night.  Pleasant all around.
