Below is a list
of links to DesertUSA articles and information about park biking trails.
Arizona
- Arizona Places To Go
- Biking
at Lake Powell/Glen Canyon NRA - The backcountry
and primitive roads of Glen Canyon National Recreation Area are a great way to
enjoy the scenery of the Colorado Plateau.
- Wupatki National
Monument - Biking at Wupatki is restricted
to the Loop Road. The 36 mile route includes a lot of interesting things to see
however: Bonito Park, for a view of Sunset Crater Volcano, Sunset Crater Visitor
Center, Bonito Lava Flow Pull-out, Cinder Hills Viewpoint, Painted Desert Vista,
Wupatki Visitor Center with access to the major pueblo, and the Doney Mountain
Viewpoint.
- Road Bicycling
in Northern Arizona - Arizona carries a special appeal for cyclists
because of the diverse array of landscapes. Moreover, the state, with more than
80 percent of its countryside belonging to the public, offers dozens of blue-line
highways with hundreds of scenic miles of cycling.
California
Colorado
- Colorado Places To Go
- Great
Sand Dunes National Monument -With so few roads and so much sand there is not much opportunity for bicycling
in the monument. Mountain bikes are permitted on the Medano Pass Primitive Road,
but soft sand makes it more of a walk than a ride. All trails in the monument
and adjacent to the U.S. Forest Service wilderness are closed to bicycles. A
bike trail is planned near Zapata Falls for the future.
Nevada
New Mexico
Texas
Utah
- Arches
National Park
- While the Moab, Utah area is famous for mountain
biking, it is permitted only on paved roads within park boundaries. Numerous
areas outside the park offer some of the best mountain biking anywhere.
- Biking
at Capitol Reef National Park
- Bike routes at Capitol Reef range from the easy
to moderate Scenic Drive route to the more difficult Cathedral Valley Loop and
South Draw Road trips to the very strenuous Boulder Mountain/Utah Highway 12
and Burr Trail Road/Bullfrog Road/Utah Highway 24 Loops.
- Canyonlands
National Park - Canyonlands is famous for its mountain biking terrain,
especially for the White Rim Road in the Island in the Sky District.
