Utah Cycling Regions

Utah Valley singletrack and the iconic Squaw Peak climb. The Dry Fork trail system and Battle Creek Canyon offer accessible rides for all skill levels.

Canyon classics and urban rides in the shadow of the Wasatch. Emigration, Big Cottonwood, and Little Cottonwood offer everything from gentle road climbs to gnarly alpine singletrack.

Road and gravel riding at Utah's northern edge, where high passes climb above the turquoise shore of Bear Lake and the scale runs from a morning loop to a 202-mile race through three states. The Bear Lake Loop, Sink Road gravel circuit, and Richardson Canyon MTB give riders three disciplines in one underrated corner of Cache National Forest.

The Tushar Mountains are where serious gravel riders find out what they're made of — remote alpine terrain above 11,000 feet that sees real weather and demands real commitment. The Crusher in the Tushar is the main event: 69 miles, 10,200 feet of gain, and enough loose-gravel pitching to rethink your life choices on the Col'd Crush.

A long, quiet canyon road that climbs 3,000 feet from the Sanpete Valley into the Manti-La Sal National Forest — Fairview Canyon rewards riders who can handle sustained effort with minimal traffic and genuine solitude. One of the more underappreciated road climbs in central Utah, with enough grade to test your fitness and enough scenery to make it worth the drive.

The Leadville MTB 100 course starts at 10,152 feet — where most people struggle to hike briskly — and asks you to ride a hundred miles through the Colorado Rockies without stopping for sympathy. This is a race destination built for riders who already know what they signed up for; the 2026 altered course keeps the altitude and adds a few new ways to suffer.

Iconic slickrock, desert epics, and red rock singletrack. From the technical Slickrock Trail to the massive Whole Enchilada, Moab delivers unforgettable riding.

World-class trail networks and legendary ridge rides. The PCMR bike park, Mid-Mountain Trail, and the iconic Wasatch Crest make this a bucket-list destination.
