Biking

Our national forests offer mountain bikers miles of roads and trails on which to ride. There are wide, quiet roads for beginners to get acquainted with their bikes and there are challenging, arduous trails that will test the advanced rider.  If you plan to strike out on your own to explore with your bike, it would be wise to buy a National Forest map. Please respect the rights of private landowners and always ask permission before you ride on their land. Also, be aware of the wilderness boundaries when you are riding on the trails. Bicycles are not allowed in the wilderness areas. 

E-Biking

Class 1, 2 and 3 e-bikes are allowed on motorized trails and roads on national forests and grasslands. 

Mountain Biking

Whether you are looking for an easy afternoon ride or a challenging chain-breaking opportunity, our national forests are the go-to place for mountain biking. Just remember, many of these trails are used by hikers and horseback riders so please make sure to think of your safety and the safety of others as you travel.

Road Cycling

Cycling is a great way to travel through National Forest System lands. The Manti-La Sal hosts many winding roads and mountain pass, ideal for slowly absorbing the beauty of central Utah as you pedal.
