Coney Island

Coney Island is a short, moderate mountain biking ride on Bureau of Land Management land in the Moab Field Office, about half a mile from the town of Moab, Utah. It is an out-and-back route that gains about 100 feet in elevation over a little under a mile, with the low point at 5,360 feet and the high at 5,475 feet. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station run from highs around 72°F and lows near 50°F in May to highs near 65°F and lows around 44°F in October. July is the hottest month, with typical highs near 91°F. The station sits a few hundred feet higher than the trail, so temperatures on the route run a little warmer. The Plateau Overlook Trail starts about 0.3 miles away, and the Middle Earth Trail is about 0.7 miles off. Lone Mesa Group Sites and Big Mesa Trail are both about 0.8 miles away for camping and more riding.
