This spectacular bicycle trail follows the Colorado River.
This is a fantastic drive. The Colorado river, otherworldly potash evaporation pools, petroglyphs, dinosaur tracks, amazing geology, movie sites and then the hair-raising switchbacks up to the Island in the Sky section of Canyonlands. You'll need a high clearance vehicle, preferably 4x4. Short wheel base will help on the switchbacks; that big ole pickem up truck gonna be hanging out over space. Leave the Accord at home for this one. I'd love to do it again.

A 30-mile trail on the easy side, winding upwards through hoodoos.
We happened to find this hidden gem on our way the Base Camp Adventure Lodge for some disc golfing. If you are into off roading and awesome never forget scenery, you want to make sure to take this route. We were lucky to upgrade to a Jeep Wrangler with our rental which easily handled the road. Outside of a couple spots with rocks up higher than others, we easily made it to our destination. Just be careful on your turns and watch for oil pan busters! Many awesome photo spots, including spectacular views of the Colorado River, to stop and take in the landscape. As many have said before, pictures can’t show the awesomeness of this area! Would/will definitely do this again.

Getting harder the further you go, this trail passes over slickrock and through beautiful scenery.
I've been riding for more than 30 years and this is some of the most fun I've ever had on a MTB. Challenging, but not too challenging; a perfect blend of rock, dirt and options. Well designed, well signed, and expertly built. Kudos.

A nine-mile, world-reknowned mountain biking trail that attracts 110,000 people per year.
A fantastic and unique MTB experience. It is not for beginners. Be aware that some of the trails are shared with motorcycles and even ATVs. My observation was that not all of the motorcycle riders were aware of and up to the level of challenge presented. It's one thing on a 30 lb. MTB; quite another on a 300 lb. motorcycle.

A fairly easy trail along the Colorado River that's easy to find and easy to follow. Great views of the river and geological sights.
