The quaint town of Fruita, 19 miles from the Utah border, rivals Moab as a mountain-biking hotspot. Smooth single track gives way to tight curves and rocky steeps that appeal to intermediate and expert riders, and the scenery is outstanding, with weathered badlands and red-rock canyons cut by the Colorado river. A network north of Fruita called 18 Road Trails includes convenient – if primitive – campsites. But the best views are from Horsethief Bench trail (part of the Kokopelli network south of town), which hugs the rim of Ruby Canyon.
