Itinerary

Elevation Range: 3,000 – 11,000 ft.

Day 1: Brain Head

After meeting in St. George, we’ll travel as a group to Brian Head Peak for a light lunch, introductions, and a pre-trip meeting. Our adventure begins as we descend the exciting Bunker Creek single-track. Mountain Bike Action Magazine rated this single-track as one of the top ten best trails in America. It descends 2,885 feet over 12 miles to Panguitch Lake. If your legs are willing, you may opt for an evening ride around the lake passing the many small cabins and lake-side summer homes.
Total Mileage | 12 miles + 9 optional Terrain | Single-track & Double track, No Van Support

Day 2:  Red Canyon

Get ready for some of the best single-track in Utah–Red Canyon! From Butch Cassidy Draw we’ll ride out to the Casto Canyon trailhead, passing views of Slate Mountain and Powell Point. Casto Canyon, crosses a small creek bed up to 44 times, and takes us into the “Land before Time”, a dizzying array of hoodoos and pick cliffs. We’ll meet the van for lunch at the end of the canyon. After lunch, we ascend single-track to the top of Brayton point and start a ripping descent back through the “Land before Time” to the van and shuttle to our hotel near Bryce Canyon or our camp in Red Canyon.
Total Mileage | 22 miles Terrain | Single-track & Double-track, No Van Support

Day 3: Thunder Mountain and Bryce

After breakfast and packing up our camp, we’ll ride a loop from Red Canyon utilizing the new bike path and the Thunder Mountain trail. The Thunder Mountain Trail is one of the most scenic mountain bike trails we have ever found; on any trip! This trail takes us around huge red hoodoos, through canyons, and into green pine forests. After our morning ride, we load our bikes and shuttle to Bryce Canyon national Park. Hike through beautiful hoodoos on the famous Wall Street Hike.
Total Mileage | 14 miles (Thunder Mountain), 2-4 miles hiking Terrain | Single-track, No Van Support

Day 4: Virgin River Rim/Navajo Lake

Today we will shuttle to Cascade Falls and hike a short 1 mile trail to a cascading waterfall cave. Then ride VRR trail overlooking Zion National Park. Once we drop down to Teah Camp, the scenic 12 mile single-track around Navajo Lake awaits. This aspen-forested single-track is a fun ride around the scenic shoreline.
Total Mileage | 9 miles (Virgin River Rim), 12 miles (Navajo Lake), 1 mile hike Cascade Falls

Day 5: Navajo Lake to Zion

Depending on yesterday’s events, enjoy the ride around Navajo Lake on the rolling 12 mile single-track followed by the incredible backcountry ride to Zion National Park. The first 15 miles descends over 3,000 feet, followed by a 15-mile combination of long ups and downs until we meet the paved road into Zion National Park. After a quick shuttle through the mile-long tunnel through the park, a 20- mile descent takes us through Zion and into Springdale. We will be staying in a comfortable inn for our last night situated beneath the Zion cliffs.
Total Mileage | 15-47 miles Terrain | Single-track and Jeep Road, Van Support

Day 6: Zion National Park

We have one last day to soak up Zion’s multi-hued cliffs and massive stone monoliths. Today we venture off on Zion’s trademark trail, the Zion Narrows. Walking along and through the river, we take in unparalleled views of Angels Landing and the enormous cliffs that make Zion, well, Zion! For the more adventurous, opt to ride into the Zion Canyon on the bike path then hike the Narrows. After lunch we’ll shuttle back to St. George arriving around 3:00 p.m. For those taking our shuttle, we’ll arrive in Las Vegas around 5:00 p.m. PST.
