Capitol Reef National Park - Biking

Hiking, Horse & Offroad Trips

Biking within the park is allowed on the Scenic Drive, but you'll have to deal with cars and RV's on the narrow and curving road. Experienced well conditioned cyclists could tackle the 4wd jeep roads in the beautiful Cathedral Valley section of the park north of Hwy 24. You might also try the following routes near the park.

Boulder Top / Behanin Creek	Advanced Expert	25 mile loop	1 - 2 hrs.

Cassidy Trail		Beginner Intermediate Advanced	8.7 miles	5 hours

	Believed to have been used by the famous outlaw Butch Cassidy in his many escapes from the lawmen of the day. Relive some Old West adventures of your own on this wonderful red rock trail.

Cassidy, Rich, & Ledge Point Trails		Intermediate	3-9 miles	4-6 hours

	These three trails intertwine with each other to form several loops ranging from 3 miles to 8 or more miles.

Casto Canyon Trail		Intermediate	7.4 miles

	This trail takes you into a wonderful world of red hoodoos, sandstone cliffs of white, pink and even green colors. The spectacular red rock is evident along most of the Casto Canyon ride until you reach the forested areas of ponderosa pines where the colors change with every turn of the trail.

Coyote Hollow Trail		Intermediate Advanced	8 miles	4-6 hours

	The Coyote Hollow Trailhead is the eastern access point to the Thunder Mountain Trail.

Fremont Trail		Intermediate Advanced	50 miles+

	Along this trail, you will take in spectacular views of red rock cliffs, and wind your way through ponderosa pine forests, quaking aspen stands and sage flats as you climb in and out of the canyons.

Losee Canyon Trail		Intermediate	2.9 miles

	Located at the bottom of Losee Canyon, the trail follows the canyon floor, winding through the red hoodoos and the many colored sandstone cliffs up to the higher elevations of the Red Canyon area.

Paunsaugunt Trail		Intermediate	20 - 75 miles

	Views of the Pink Cliffs, Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, and the Kaibab Plateau in northern Arizona greet riders (and hikers) of the Paunsaugunt ATV Trail.

Red Canyon Bicycle Trail		Beginner Intermediate	5.5 miles	2 - 3 hours

	The Dixie National Forest and Utah Department of Transportation partnered to create this paved bike trail paralleling Highway 12. Bicyclists can now enjoy Red Canyon's scenery without worrying about traffic on the highway.

Thunder Mountain Trail		Intermediate Advanced	8 miles	4-6 hours

	One of the premier trails in the region, the Thunder Mountain Trail follows a normally dry wash for about 1.5 miles before climbing a series of steep switchbacks to a ridge that overlooks Red Canyon to the north, Wilson Peak to the southeast, and the Sevier River Valley to the west.

Velvet Ridge	Intermediate	14 mile loop	1 - 2 hours
