Mountain Biking Moab

Review: Hi

I'm David Crowell.. I wrote Mountain Biking Moab.

Since being published, Tens of thousands have found my route descriptions simple and easy to follow. The descriptions allow riders to sample a ride's flavor while alerting them to the trail's challenges.

A reviewer below stated that my "Courthouse Wash" trail was difficult to follow (I've paraphrased). Well, I belive my directions are sound. Other books say to just... turn right on Pipeline Road and follow it to Willow Road. Well, this is an area criss-crossed with roads (both legitimate and not). I have given a mile-by-mile route that gets one to Willow Road via a variety of surfaces that is fun and challenging. If the reader below had used all the navigational tools given in my book, He/She could have taken any northerly route and reached their destination.

I've given riders the information to make choices as-well-as the routes I enjoyed. My book is a tool to let you open up the excitement that is Mountain Biking Moab. It's by a biker for bikers. If you want pretty pictures buy a coffee table book. If you want to ride Moab, buy my book.

You don't have to take my word for it. Read ALL the reviews below and on other Moab books. Mine is the one you'll probably see being used by riders on the trail.

Thanks for your interest,

Dave :o)

Review: Making the pilgrimage to Moab?!
This guide has easy-to-follow, accurate maps and profiles with friendly prose.
I lived with the locals sharing their customs and rituals to bring you the scoop on where to ride.

Enjoy!!

Summary: Rider beware!
Review: On a recent trip to Moab a friend and I relied on this book for directions. We tried four of the rides. The directions are not always clear, although three of the four rides were on trails that were either well-marked or obvious. But Crowell's directions for the "Courthouse Wash" route were indecipherable; we spent several hours trying to find our way with little success. So I wouldn't rely on this book alone. I also noticed that the bike shops in Moab carried several trail guides, but not this one.

Summary: Great guide with fun prose!
Review: This book delivers the goods. It doesn't waste time telling you how dangerous things are.. It gives a straight-forward account of what to expect so you can make informed decisions about what trails to ride. But... best of all.. it's fun to read. Trails like "Prostitute Behind the Rocks.. aka... a nice butte." show that this guy not only lives and breathes biking.. but he also is extremely literate. A biker sence of humor cranks through each description. A must buy even if you aren't going to Moab. Sit back. Take a swig of your favorite Eddie McStiff's brew and read Mountain Biking Moab.

Review: This is a great book. I first found out about the entire Falcon series of books from some friends. They loaned this book to me when I made my first trip to Moab. We had other books with us but this is the only one we used. I have since purchased the Falcon guide's for Grand Junction/Fruita and Denver/Boulder.
