This spiciness is unexpected in part because Sidewinder is reached via the Rusty Spur trail, which is probably the easiest singletrack trail in all of Moab. Even though Rusty Spur is entirely non-technical, this smooth, flowy dirt track is a joy to ride, and it provides beautiful views of the surrounding red rock cliffs.

But the real payoff? The real reward comes when you're ripping down Sidewinder!

After finishing Sidewinder, you'll be faced with a fairly steep grunt back up the paved bike path to return to the Moab Brand trailhead. If you're looking for a bit more singletrack pedaling, consider taking a right onto the Lazy EZ Loop to finish the ride.
