Guided Mountain Biking Tour in Bryce Canyon NP

Top three reasons to go mountain biking in Bryce Canyon

Marvel at Bryce Canyon’s otherworldly hoodoos
Test your riding skills on the nearby forest roads and pioneer trails
Experience some of Utah’s most amazing single and double track rides

Bryce Canyon National Park and its routes offer some of the best red rock mountain biking trails in Utah. The peculiar mix of windows, slot canyons, and hoodoos created through years and years of erosion and frost-wedging, makes biking in Bryce Canyon feel like riding in mazes on an alien planet. The Canyon’s spectacular amphitheaters carved into chromatic limestone result in true one-of-a-kind rides. There are rides for everyone here—Dave’s Hollow is an easily accessible and relatively undemanding double-track through pine forests and meadows, Skunk & Badger is an intermediate loop ride through one-of-a-kind red rock formations, and Thunder Mountain is highly technical singletrack through some steep ridges, narrow hogs and with spectacular views of the park. You’re guaranteed to find a favorite ride here, and you’ll most likely be coming back for more!

Saba F. about Zion Guide Hub on Tripadvisor

Our group consisted of 6 teens and two parents – with varying mt. bike skill levels. Our guides, Sonny and S.J. were very patient and accommodating. If you have teens, then you know how hard they can be to please – everyone in our group had a great time! I highly recommend going on a guided mountain bike tour.

Nick D. about Zion Guide Hub on Tripadvisor

This was by far our best excursion on our 10-day vacation through America’s beautiful Canyonlands. My wife and I along with our two boys mountain biked the Jem trail with Brian who was amazing. Met Brian in the morning, he fitted us to some amazing bikes, gave us some quick pointers and we were off to the trail. Biked for about 3,5 hours up the side of a mountain to an amazing mesa with stunning views. Brian kept us informed on what was coming up ahead and how to navigate the trails. He was great with my 21 and 19-year-old sons who wanted an extreme ride guided them on the trails and taking them to more difficult trails. He had bug spray, extra water for us when we ran low and salty peanuts for my son who was cramping towards the end. It was an awesome day!
