The seemingly endless stretches of mesas and sandstone rock formations in the Zion National Park area and the unique orange and red hoodoo formations of Bryce Canyon National Park are like nowhere else on earth. The rides we've chosen for you to explore this gorgeous region range from a twisting maze over the slickrock of Gooseberry Mesa to the downhill, hoodoo slalom of Thunder Mountain within Red Canyon. The weather during May is ideal - plenty warm, but we'll avoid the scorching temps of the summer season.
Day 1: With the exception of a few short ups, the mostly downhill singletrack of Thunder Mountain is like a fast descent on a foreign planet...
Day 2: The canyon we ride in today was a known hideout for Butch Cassidy and his Hole in the Wall Gang. We do some rustling ourselves, but by mountain bike on some of SW Utah’s finest singletrack...
Day 3: The Grandview Trail changes many times throughout its 75+ mile length, but we’ll be tackling the first 13 miles – a mixture of single and double track across several canyons. Amazing eye-popping views come with little or no warning...
Day 4: : Little Creek Mesa - when this singletrack route isn’t winding through juniper, pinyon and manzanita it’s depositing us onto rock outcroppings with eye-popping vistas of neighboring mesas and Zion Canyon...
Day 5: Gooseberry Mesa. Just the mention of this world-class trail is mountain biker catnip. Gooseberry is the best of technical slickrock and great singletrack. While the riding is incredible, be sure to keep your wits about you – the cliff edge views are unbelievable and vying for your attention...
