Biking
Biking is an extremely popular pastime in Zion Canyon as the local adventure outfitting companies can attest to by their bike rental numbers. There are three trails, in particular, that should be recommended. Gooseberry Mesa, Kolob Terrace Road, and the one and only Zion Canyon Scenic Road. Between these three fantastic routes, you can have your pick of strenuous or leisurely as well as your choice of terrains – cliffs, mountains, forest, desert, you name it. If you enjoy road or mountain biking, consider bringing your own bike to Springdale on your next visit and make it one of your Zion activities.
