Mountain Biking

Bike riding in the park is restricted to roads open to vehicles. The park’s Backcountry and Wilderness Management Plan designates approximately 29 miles of trails for non-motorized bike use, however, the new trails cannot be used until Congress gives its approval. In the meanwhile, the park's backcountry roads offer opportunities to explore many areas.

 

Biking Safety

• Carry plenty of water, at least one gallon per person per day—two for extended or uphill trips.
  
  
• Wear a helmet. If you take a spill your brain will thank you.
  
  
• Ride with caution: Park roads are narrow with sandy shoulders, bumps, and potholes.
  
  
• Watch for RVs and trucks with extended side-view mirrors.
  
  
• Wear reflective clothing after dark.
