Bike the Snow Canyon Loop

Itinerary tips

• 1Plan for a 2-hour ride if staying on the paved path or 3-4 hours if you intend to explore the off-shoot walking trails.
• 2Enter through the South Gate to access the continuous 18-mile paved loop that connects the park road to the West Canyon Trail.
• 3Carry at least two liters of water even in cooler months, as the black lava flows radiate significant heat throughout the day.
• 4Park at the Upper Galoot picnic area for central access to the most scenic sections of red sandstone and restrooms.
• 5Rent an e-bike from a local St. George shop to comfortably manage the 1,000-foot elevation gain without exhaustion.
• 6Pay the Utah State Park entry fee at the gatehouse or use your annual Utah State Parks pass for quick admission.
