My wife and I are interested in a MTB vacation. We are
from the East and are willing to fly to wherever we can
get a taste of the mountain slab riding that I see so
often and dream about (Moab? Zion?. Our plan was to rent
bikes rather than trasport ours. A place that has some
nightlife, camping is prefered. Not too big into tour
style. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hey, Well it's fairly easy to be honest - fly into Salt Lake
City, hire a car to drive to Moab, then hire bikes there.
MTBing is such big business there that there are masses of
places renting bikes, from cheap rigid through to top of the
range full sussers. It's a fantastic place - you can pick up
a book of local trails and there are enough to keep you busy
for months... Personally I recommend Bartlett Wash, and,
obviously, the Slickrock trail

Good luck! Nick

Moab is really busy, but you won't be content until you've
tried it. Will you? ;-)

Can anyone recommend a destination other than Moab? a place
a bit less crowded? Someplace with a similar feeling and
experience?

Are you going to ride bikes, or disco down? Only a true
barney would prefer "nightlife" to world class mountain
biking. Why don't you take up tiddlywinks?

If you don't mind single track and some height you might
enjoy Lauterbrunnen Switzerland

nighlife great parties down in InterLaken and Lauterbrunne.

Enjoy, Noah

As a bonus, there's a Hooters in Interlaken.

It's on my list of places to stop while in Heidi Land.
