Things to do in Utah, United States: The Best Biking Trails

January 22, 2022 Janean Rudisill

Welcome to “The Greatest Snow on Earth” – Utah’s paradise for all outdoor enthusiasts! As host of the 2002 Winter Olympics, Park City knows how to entertain winter fun seekers. Snowboarders and skiers head for miles of spectacular slopes with deep fluffy powder and breathtaking mountain views. The Olympic Park provides family-friendly ski programs, rides and shows. Alta, Sundance, Snowbird and Brighton are other popular destinations for cross country and Alpine skiers. Those alluring snowy slopes turn to rolling wildflower fields in the summer. Golfing, fishing, horseback riding and water sports replace chilly outdoor sports adventures. Corral the family, pack a picnic and catch one of the ski lifts for an afternoon of hiking or mountain biking along scenic trails. Head to Salt Lake City, where Temple Square hosts millions of visitors a year. Bryce Canyon and Arches National Park are famous for surreal landscapes from horseshoe-shaped amphitheaters to unusual rock formations and hundreds of natural sandstone arches. Closer to home, wander along the quaint main streets of mountain villages to browse, shop and enjoy lunch at an outdoor café. At the end of the day, head home for an outdoor barbecue and an evening of games. Home rentals blend privacy, space and comfort with the cost-saving advantage of eating some meals at home.

If you don’t have much time to travel around Moab, this road should be your no. 1 priority! It’s extremely beautiful, views are spectacular. It took us about 1.5hrs to get from Potash to Visitors Centre.

Potash Road

This spectacular bicycle trail follows the Colorado River.

Reviewed By O722VSkenb

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.

Hurrah Pass Road

A 30-mile trail on the easy side, winding upwards through hoodoos.

Reviewed By 559randym - Marinette, United States

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.

Klondike Bluffs Trail

Getting harder the further you go, this trail passes over slickrock and through beautiful scenery.

Reviewed By SactoBob

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.
