This is a hidden jewel - a stunning climb in Zion National Park through a colorful canyon with many amazing rock formations. A "must do" if you are in the area!

Be sure to ride Kolob Terrace Road which is an epic bike ride, as well as the climbs in Zion National Park (See PJAMM Zion National Park climb page). See also this list of things to do in Zion NP, and hikes to do in Zion NP. We did several and strongly feel Angels Landing is a "must do" hike.

We have stayed in Springdale just outside the main gate to the park when we have visited Zion NP.

Best road surface conditions ever encountered on a ride, combined with very little vehicle traffic makes this a very safe climb. Did this climb on a May Saturday morning and encountered no other cyclists or any motorcycles, saw about 5 or 6 vehicles the entire time. The scenery is truly breathtaking. I compare it to Lookout Mountain, only if LOM was inside the Louvre. If this was in the 15 to 20 mile in length, it would have to be top 5 most epic in the US and undisputed most scenic. I love the idea of doing 4 or 5 intervals in one day and perhaps will get to do it this fall. Look forward to updating my review once I'm able to return. Truly recommend this ride to riders of all skill levels.

A short and mild climb, the attraction here is the scenery, red rock towers and walls of the much less visited northwest section of Zion NP. The road twists up the ridge, passing hiking trailheads and dead ends at a parking lot. Spend some time in the park if at all possible.
