Mountain Biking

The Grand Staircase - Escalante National Monument covers 1.9 million acres of public lands in southern Utah, with several hundred miles of roads. Many routes are ideal for family or group trips that are vehicle-supported. Mountain biking is a refreshing way to experience the variety of landscapes the Monument has to offer.

These lands are rugged and primitive, appealing to those looking for an adventure. Remoteness, limited travel corridors, and low visitation have all helped to preserve this type of opportunity. Help us maintain these values by planning your trip well, being prepared, and camping light. Water is not available along these mountain bike routes, so be sure to carry plenty with you.
• Designated mountain biking routes have not been established on the Monument.
• Mountain biking is not allowed on backcountry hiking routes.
