7 Stunning Colors of Mud

Upper Mustang isn’t just about mountains. Along with breathtaking landscapes, it is full of colorful mud on the trails! When you ride, you can see 7 different mud colors, each one unique.

Red Mud is the famous mud seen in Mustang which is rich and rusty and makes Mustang look so unique. It covers about 40% of Mustang trails. Brown mud is everywhere and feels soft under your tires. It is Classic brown and covers about 25% of Mustang trails. Yellow mud is sandy and shiny in the sun, almost like gold and is seen usually in sunny, open areas or dry riverbeds. Yellow mud covers almost 10% of the trail. Grey mud is smooth, soft and perfect for taking pics and sometimes it makes your bike slide a little. It also covers about 10% of the area. Black mud is wet and sticky after rain, so you have to ride carefully. This mud color is also referred as dark and mysterious and it covers only about 5% of the trails. White mud is chalky and dry and is found mostly in the high area where it’s colder. It covers 5% of the mustang trials. And orange mud is bright and glows in the sunlight, almost like it was painted by nature. This type of mud is said to be amazing to look at by riders. Almost 5% of the area is covered by orange mud.
Riding through all these colorful muds is super fun and makes the trails feel alive. It’s like biking through a painting that changes with every turn!
