マーカガントプラトーのおすすめライド

Very nice view

The Zion Canyon Trail is one of the most relaxed and scenic ways to ride near the park, offering a smooth paved path that winds through cottonwoods and red-rock walls without the stress of traffic. It’s flat, family-friendly, and perfect for spinning out your legs before or after a big climb. Expect crowds near Springdale during peak hours, but once you’re on the path, it’s a calm and beautiful ride with plenty of spots to pull over and take in the views.

A convenient overnight hub with everything you might need: groceries, shops, restaurants, and plenty of lodging. If you’re riding or hiking in the region, this is an ideal place to rest, resupply, and tune up. If you enjoy mountain biking, several nearby trails are worth exploring—even for first-timers. There are also plenty of hiking trails just outside town.

There is a small pull-off on the side of the main road, which is a great place to stop and admire the valley. You can see a variety of remarkable rock formations, and you might see climbers on Lambs Knoll.

Cycling isn't allowed through the tunnel, and there is space to pull over off the road at the entrance. You can try to hitchhike through, or turn around and enjoy the switchbacks down the canyon.

It's best to park here or at the museum, as only park buses are allowed into the larger part where most hikes start. I would also recommend getting there as early as possible, as it fills up quickly, parking is difficult, and the paths are also crowded.

Coal Creek Trail is a paved path that runs alongside the river and passes by Veterans Park, connecting with the park and other trails in the area. The park serves as a memorial to those who fought in various wars, with dedicated sections, including one honoring the 240 Korean soldiers who won a battle against a much larger army without any casualties.

This park is a great spot to start and end your ride while you explore the Zion area. There's water, toilets, shady areas, and the river to cool down in.
