Circle-O is a mountain biking route in southeastern Utah, on Bureau of Land Management land within the Moab Field Office. The ride is an out-and-back that climbs about 229 feet over roughly 6 miles, with the low point at 4,460 feet and the high at 4,689 feet. It is a moderate ride. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show October highs around 72°F with lows near 44°F, while July highs average about 99°F. That station sits about 600 feet lower than the route, so temperatures on the climb run a little cooler. The Circle O Trail, a hiking route, starts just 0.1 mile away. Within half a mile are the Lazy and Bar M Loop mountain biking trails. Climbers can head to State Highway 313, about 1.1 miles off.
