Cyclists enjoying a challenging ride

Please use extreme caution when bicycling on park roads as some areas have low visibility, no shoulder and are steep with windy turns.

Approved backcountry roads are marked with a yellow arrow sign with a number on it. Please stay on the roads so our fragile desert soils stay protected.

It is always a good idea to carry plenty of water, cycle with a friend, and let someone know your itinerary.
