Escape is a short mountain biking route on Bureau of Land Management land in the Moab Field Office, about 0.3 miles long and rising 48 feet from 4,557 to 4,663 feet. It sits in the Moab area of southeastern Utah, managed by the BLM. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show October highs around 72°F with lows near 44°F, and April highs around 70°F. That station sits a few hundred feet lower, so temperatures on this route run slightly cooler. The Sidewinder Trail and the Sidewinder mountain biking route both start about 0.1 mile away, and Deadman's Ridge is about 0.2 mile off. For climbing, Little Valley is about 1.6 miles away.
