July 16, 2023 This is a nice, gradual climb up from Tropic with wonderful views. You can park in Tropic and have a 7 mile cool-down decent back to Tropic. There is a bike lane on the main part of the climb. The road is in excellent condition with a shoulder for the ride to and from Tropic. Traffic was moderate with courteous drivers. You can continue the climb into and along the scenic Bryce Canyon NP road to the end at Rainbow Point for a wonderful, scenic, 30 mile climb. Water and food available at the general store inside the park - about mile 12. The bike path from the start at the shuttle station to the end (4.5 miles) is in excellent condition with no cracks. Then you'll need to ride on the main road to the end at Rainbow Point. Then a nice, long, flowy decent back to Tropic or Ruby's area with a few easy climbs.

CLIMB SUMMARY

Cycling Bryce Canyon

Ride 4.6 miles gaining 1,069’ at 4.4% average grade.

Climb summary by PJAMM ultra ambassador Bruce Hamilton:

This climb starts just north of the town of Tropic just east of Bryce Canyon National Park. We parked in Tropic as parking outside of town so close to the national park was more difficult. There is quite a lot of tourist traffic in the area and parking areas are often full in summer. This side of the park has less traffic than the approach from the west side but be prepared for significant traffic if you do this climb in summer. Not a long or difficult climb by PJAMM standards but some beautiful views of the spires in Bryce Canyon along the way. Climb terminates at the roundabout that is the turnoff to the park entrance and this climb could be combined with a ride in the park.

 

Thank you Bruce!
