  • Description
We rode The Palisades State Park Loop in 5.5 hours for a distance of 60 miles at 11 mph. Plan this trip around a visit to Palisades or some of the other camping destinations in the area that make for a long half-day ride with plenty of time for exploring and stretching your legs on a summer hike. This easy ride will take you into the mountains of the Manti-La Sal National Forest to escape the summer heat or to enjoy a fall excursion.
