Good to know:

-Intermediate with a few short expert (sandy/rocky/water) sections
-Big bike and 4x4 friendly if you know what you’re doing
-Cathedral Valley and Wildhorse river crossings can be deep, check ahead
-Late October and early November if you want fall colors otherwise ride year round
-150 mile range for gas and water is enough if you stop when available
-Amazing dispersed and organized camping along the entire route
-Camping isn’t necessary but expect $200+ for a motel (full at peak season)
-4 to 6 days is great but this place is endless
