Mountain Biking Vernal, Utah

Mountain Biking Vernal Utah

If you like, love or enjoy mountain biking Vernal, Utah is a little known destination you must experience. The local mountain biking community has built a 100 plus miles of incredible single track trails that rival anything in Utah or Colorado. The area is often compared to Moab except there are no crowds you will have the trail all to yourself.

The most popular riding area is McCoy Flats west of town. At the McCoy Flats trailhead you have several options from beginner trails to expert loops. The two most common rides are Milk and Cookies a great beginner/intermediate trail or Retail Sale a intermediate to advanced trail. Both are loops that can be combined with other trails to make them longer if you feel up for it. One thing to keep in mind is the time of year and tempature. Mid June through Mid August the day time tempatures can be quite hot. I would recomend planning your ride early in the day or early evening to have the best tempature. Plus the sunrise and sunsets are not bad either.

Two other riding areas that get a lot of attention are Dry Fork Canyon and Red Fleet Recreation area. Both offer more great single track and an uncrowded riding experience. The Flume trail up Dry Fork Canyon is a unique experience and incredible ride. The Flume is an out and back trail, slight grade up hill for as many miles as you would like to ride up to 15 miles if you are willing. The scenery is beautiful, aspen and pine trees line the trail engulfed by giant sandstone cliffs. This ride also has a lot of wildlife, don't be suprised to see mule deer, moose, elk and a ton of birds and small mamals.

We offer daily mountain bike tours departing from Vernal, Utah. Our guide staff loves the trails, the area and will provide you with an unforgettable experience. We work with the local bike shop Altitude Cycle for all of the bike rental needs. There expert mechanics keep the bikes in tip top shape.
