My wife and I road this trail yesterday (October 25, 2025). The fall colors were beautiful and the day was perfect, 64 degrees with a slight breeze and partly cloudy. The trail is in great condition and can be tackled by nearly all ability levels.
Rode from Sevier River RV park down to the end at Big Rock Candy Mountain resort area (and back). Beautiful! Smooth paved trail down a canyon next to a river and non-busy highway. Beautiful high canyon walls.
We parked at the city park in Elsinore and joined the bike trail a few blocks away. The asphalt trail was smooth and well-maintained for all 16.5 miles. There are a few moderate hills during the first 5 miles. The scenic part of the trail begins 10 miles in at the Candy Mountain Trailhead. The last 6.5 miles were our favorite part. We had ice cream and filled our water at the Big Rock Candy Mountain Resort.
I started from Elsinore Park in Elsinore, UT and rode the trial to Big Rock Candy Mountain Resort; from beginning to end and back again.
I liked the trail better closer to the resort but it was on the whole a nice ride.
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.
I just did a short part of it from Sevier to big rock. It was beautiful. The wind was a bit strong the day I went. But it is a canyon so what do you expect. The trail is in great condition. Just one part where it was a little eroded. There was a big cone to mark it. It was a beautiful ride!
We were there in the fall. The colors were beautiful and the ride relaxing. I was impressed by the benches to stop at and rest or to sit and soak in the scenery.
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.
