The Anasazi Cliffs Trail Journal
Hurricane, Utah is surrounded by slickrock and singletrack. Find the right trail, the right season, a rental bike, and the gear you'll want in the desert.
Rent trail bikes in Hurricane for Gooseberry, JEM and the mesas, and rent Class 1 e-bikes in Springdale for Zion Canyon. Here's what to book ahead and what to bring to the shop.
Spring and fall are prime time on Gooseberry Mesa and the Hurricane trails, winter is a quiet bonus season, and summer is for dawn rides only. Here's what each month is really like.
JEM is the flowing warm-up, Gooseberry is the slickrock classic, Little Creek is the wilder expert mesa, and Hurricane Rim is the long cliff-edge day. Here's how they compare.
St. George is closest but served by regional jets, Las Vegas has the most flights and the easiest bike-friendly airlines, and shipping your bike to a Hurricane shop skips the airport hassle entirely.
Desert slickrock asks for more water, more sealant and more layers than most riders expect. Here's what to carry on the trail, what to keep in the car and what to leave at the cabin.
Whether you're exploring Zion National Park, hiking local trails, or just relaxing under the stars, your desert escape awaits.
