Directions
Unlike most other trails in Moab, Utah you can begin the Hurrah Pass mountain biking trail from town at the corner of Center Street and 100 West. Otherwise, you can skip the paved part of the trail and drive out Kane Creek Road along the Colorado River until it crosses a cattle guard and turns to dirt. Park your car in the parking area just passed the cattle guard. Continue biking up the main dirt road, without exploring less established side roads, until you reach Hurrah Pass. Turn around and ride back down. The route is exactly the same if you are in an ATV or 4x4.
