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.

Did You Know?
"The wilderness . . . that has come to us from the eternity of the past we have the boldness to project into the eternity of the future. It seems presumptuous for men and women . . . to dare to undertake a program for perpetuity, but that surely is our challenge." -- Howard Zahniser
