The Experience

Before You Go

Respect NFS rules

E-bikes are not allowed on National Forest singletrack—stick to paved connectors and shared-use roads provided by the operator.

Manage battery life

Start with a full charge, choose a moderate assist mode for long loops, and ask staff for range estimates for your planned route.

Hydrate and shade up

Bring a hydration pack and wear broad sun protection—desert sun and reflective red rock can intensify exposure even on short rides.

Watch traffic on scenic roads

Routes use little-trafficked paved roads; stay visible, ride single file on narrower sections, and use pullouts for photos.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Look for quiet paved pullouts on scenic connectors for unobstructed sunset views
  • Short gravel spurs that end at low-traffic overlooks offer close rock-face perspectives without entering singletrack

Wildlife

  • Mule deer
  • Red-tailed hawk

Conservation Note

Staying on paved and designated shared-use roads minimizes erosion and vegetation damage—pack out trash, avoid riding off-road, and follow operator guidance.

National Forest Service restrictions on e-bikes shape permitted routes here; those rules protect fragile backcountry soils and singletrack.
