Desert Highlights is Moab's original canyoneering guide service. Although this multi-sport tour does not involve canyoneering (rappelling), it is a route that Desert Highlights' founder created in the late 1990's as a unique and self-supported way to explore wild and remote terrain. A tour of this fashion is not being done by any other company in Moab.
This tour combines mountain biking and packrafting in order to explore a section of the Green River that can otherwise only be seen on multi-day rafting trips. We'll ride our bikes down an old mining road to a point along the Green River. Here, we'll blow up our packrafts (that we've been carrying in our backpacks!), strap our bikes down to the front and float down one of the most scenic sections of the Green River Labyrinth Canyon corridor - all in a day's work!

We had an awesome day with Herb and the Pedal Paddle excursion. First Melissa answered my many questions over the phone to make sure this was appropriate to take my boys, ages 13 and 16. Herb took us on the excursion and was knowledgeable, safe, fun, and so helpful (carried so much on his bike!). It was an exhilarating downhill bike ride of an old mining road, then we inflated the rafts and floated down the river. The river wasn’t flowing very quickly due to drought and early July, so my husband had to tow my 13 y.o. a bit, otherwise we would have been out there even longer than the 6 hours that we paddled. Great views, peaceful time on the river. Bring lots of water and sunscreen. Thank goodness Melissa shuttled the truck to our take out point so we didn’t have to ride back up! This was a highlight of our 2 week trip

Our family of 4 had a wonderful time with Herb on the Pedal, Paddle, Pedal. Really unique experience & exciting ride down hill to the river on fat-tire bikes at an easy pace. Herb took great care of us and explained how to inflate the kayaks and secure the bikes once we reached the river. Nice easy, leisurely float. Wild ride once you leave the water on the switch backs up from the canyon. Would totally recommend.

Just booked my trip with Desert Highlights for this summer and it reminded me I hadn’t reviewed my trip from last summer.
My son in law and I did a pedal paddle pedal With Herb last summer.The trip started with an early morning ride through the desert and then you drop down into a steep canyon to the river. We broke down our bikes and inflated our packrafts -attached the bikes and floated for 6 hours through beautiful canyons. After our float we reassembled our bikes and road to the van. My son in-law and I loved it. Great scenery, ride and float we never saw another person all day. Herb is a great guide, very knowledgeable and made our adventure memorable. We are going back and doing a different trip this summer
