I am researching multi-day point to point trails. Specifically in Southern Utah and Colorado, but am open to anything anywhere. Something like North Umpqua River Trail in Oregon or the Kokopeli Trail in UT/CO. Any other suggestions? Has anyone here ridden Fruita to Moab on the Kokopeli? Thanks in advance for the help.

Do you mean bikepacking end-to-end, or just riding a section at a time while sleeping comfortably elsewhere?

There are a couple hut-to-hut routes in Colorado which seem like right up your alley.

There's a hut to hut system in CO you could check out - http://sanjuanhuts.com/

I think jabantik has ridden Kokopelli to Moab. Maybe the Colorado trail, though its late in the season.

The Arizona Trail would also work. I signed up for a membership and could get you maps and GPS for that. There's also the Black Canyon Trail in AZ, which would be good for a few days and much of it is a great ride http://www.bctaz.com/.

I also hear there's a trail in CA that's Perfect for multi day bike trips, just can't think of the name. SART and other trails near Big bear could be looped into a nice long route.
