Biking
Hwy 12 has become a “must do” ride in the World's biking community and most days you will see groups of suntanned riders passing through our towns. Some riders are sprinting between Boulder and Escalante, traveling light and attacking the tight turns and rapid descents at a heart pounding pace. Others are on a cross-country adventure, packed with lots of gear and taking a leisurely pace. The scenery is so pleasing and the riding somewhat intense, both types of riders are in the trip of a lifetime.
Mountain bike riding is limited to designated road and trails on the desert and the mountain. That means riders are limited to just under 2,000miles of riding! Wow. This country is huge and covered with inviting old mineral and logging roads that traverse rarely traveled corners of the land. Single track riding has begun to spring up on some of the very old cattle and horse trails that descend from high on the mountain to the foothills and beyond.
These are challenging and adventurous rides be prepared and have a great time!
