(Sovereign Sunset)
Sovereign is Moab's singletrack trail system. It's mostly smooth and flowy but provides plenty of technical opportunities to make it a well rounded, fulfilling ride. It's perfectly situated on the way in/out of town so you if you're into making the most of your stay by cramming a couple rides/day, you can hit this one on the way in to town if you only have a couple of hours of light left OR on the way home. To top it off with, there's camping right next to the trailhead, enabling the ambitious to knock a ride out in the early morning before the rest of the camp is stirring or a perfect denouement for the day.The colors of the rock formartions and dirt (purple) with the La Sal mtns in the background is absolutely beautiful.
