This is a great way to beat the lines and the crowds to see Bryce Canyon. It was a little challenging pedaling to the top, but we could stop at the overlooks and move at our own pace. The views from Inspiration Point are worth the short, steep hike from the parking lot. The ride back down was a breeze. We would do this one again.
We rode this on the Saturday of Labor Day weekend and it really was not crowded on the path. Long line of cars waiting to get in and fight the traffic but the bikes go right in and no entry fee. I felt bad for the people in the cars Beautiful trail. It has lots of curves and turns and a lot of shade from the huge trees. We parked in the Shuttle Parking lot with our jeep (lots of parking space!) and the trail starts right from there. It is a gradual incline all the way to Inspiration Point and a super fun almost coast on the way back down. There is another viewpoint before you get out to inspiration point which is amazing. You have to park your bikes and walk a short way at both viewpoints but not a problem. You can also stop at the visitor center. If you have an RV or are camping stay in Ruby's campground in Bryce Canyon City. This trail and the Red Canyon Bicycle Trail both start right from the campground.
What an amazing ride.. It's rough at the beginning inside camping area. After that the trail is GREAT. Amazing ride. So beautiful.
My wife and I rode this while visiting Bryce Canyon. I would have given it 5 stars if not for the large cracks in the pavement as others have mentioned. Just be aware that it’s all up hill in one direction and the altitude can make it challenging if you’re not used to it. We rode it from the Bryce City end to the opposite trailhead and back and I was glad I had rented an ebike
We rode this from Ruby’s Campground to Inspiration Peak which was mostly uphill. NOTE!! If you’re not acclimated to the altitude (8,000’) the climb can be challenging
This is a beautiful, curvy asphalt trail with a slight incline. We started our ride at the shuttle station in Bryce Canyon City and rode to the end of the trail at Inspiration Point inside the park. It’s nearly an all downward ride back to the shuttle station. There are many gorgeous pine trees and chipmunks to see along with a brief canyon view from the trail. Riders may choose to ride on the paved road through the remainder of the park for an additional 13 miles of do but the road has several challenging hills.
One of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen. A must see for sure. We rode our E Bikes and stayed west to a forest road total ride 18.2 miles absolutely incredible
Took this paved trail my first day in Zion. Was great with the baby and stroller and had great views and multiple chances to pause and see the river. It will have a bit heavy traffic but other than that it was great. Only hit 174 feet delta elevation change so definitely recommend for beginners, families / young kids , pets, just everyone. I can only imagine it’s the best warmup for the start of a longer stay.
park at the TH just outside the north entrance of Snow Canyon Park and you park for free. Travel southward on Hiway 18 and connect to the Snow Canyon park trail in St Geo. I tried the loop counterclockwise (i was lured in this direction by the stellar views of the Park. I should have followed the reviews tho). The hills on this path are over 15% - there are 3 of them. on our ebikes they were still a struggle. although there is one big hill going northward in Snow Canyon Park (entrance fee is $5 per bike versus $15 for car), the top 1.5 miles where you share the park road allows you to maybe hitch a ride with a friendly vehicle going northward (and uphill) thus allowing you to complete the loop and not push your bike uphill for 1.5 miles. the use of internal combustion engines (unless you hitch a ride with an e-car) is the way to go.
The crazy thing is that the path designers should have used switchbacks on the steep hills (there was room on all the hills) instead of paralleling the highway. At times it made more sense to bike the highway to avoid the hills (the highway hills were at a less steep grade).
I rode this trail southbound in November 2020. The path parallels Highway 18 with adequate separation. There are some pavement cracks, but not bad.
The upper part by Snow Canyon are flat and benign. The lower portion is a bit more fun. The path does not follow the grade of the road but the natural elevations up and down outside of the road cuts. I call it a "Roller Coaster". Riding south is fairly easy, but riding north would be quite a challenge with some 10% grades.
I made a clockwise loop with Snow Canyon for a fun late-fall ride.
