  • Description
The Ephraim Canyon Loop is located southeast of the town of Ephraim, up Ephraim Canyon Road. The trail is a high elevation ride into the San Pitch Mountains on the Ephraim Canyon Road connecting with Skyline Drive and the Arapeen Trail. The 55 mile ride took us five hours at 9 mph and makes a great day trip with plenty of time left to grab a burger and malt in Ephraim.

The area offers a vareity of trails and interesting places to explore when you are looking for an escape from the heat of the summer.

A short way down the trail the scenery opens up and the trail gets a little rockier.

June 24 Trail Report – still lots of glaciers. We were in dirt bikes but anything else would not have been able to do it. Probably circumnavigated 20-30 glaciers that were too deep for SXS or ATV to drive over.
