CLIMB SUMMARY

Cycling Indian Canyon South

Ride 15.1 miles gaining 3,073’ at 3.7% average grade.

Indian Canyon is part of the Indian Canyon Scenic Byway, a route known for its colorful rock formations, diverse forests, and wildlife such as elk and deer. The byway passes through Ashley National Forest and reaches its peak at Indian Creek Pass, around 9,100 feet in elevation, offering magnificent views of forested slopes and deep, rugged canyons. The area is particularly beautiful in the autumn when the foliage is at its most vibrant. The canyon also holds historical significance, with nearby sites featuring ancient Native American rock art and remnants of early settler trails

Climb summary by PJAMM Ambassador Bruce Hamilton.

The Indian Canyon South climb begins a few miles north of the town of Price, Utah. If you are traveling from Price on Highway 6, turn right onto Highway 191 and park in the lot immediately on the right after the turn. From this parking area, you can see the river and the bridge marking the start of the climb. Traffic on this route is typically lighter than expected. The climb itself is gradual for most of the way, with the majority of the elevation gain occurring in the last five miles. Be prepared for hot conditions in the summer, as there is no water or commercial services along the route. The prevailing wind is from the southwest, which can provide a helpful tailwind, as experienced on our ride. As you approach the summit—just over 9,000 feet—you are rewarded with expansive vistas.

Thank you Bruce Hamilton and Stacy Topping!!
