The UFO Trail is a 3.2-mile out-and-back route on Bureau of Land Management land within the Moab Field Office in Utah. It's a moderate mountain biking ride, with a 164-foot elevation gain from the low point at 4,952 feet to the high at 5,071 feet. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station run from highs around 67°F in April to 68°F in October, while July averages near 96°F. That station sits about 500 feet lower than the trail, so temperatures here run a little cooler. Several other routes sit within a mile, including Little Salty Trail and EKG Trail for mountain biking and Instep Trail for hiking. North Klondike Campground is about 2.2 miles away.
