SaveWith hundreds of miles of four-wheel-drive roads, Canyonlands offers ideal terrain for multi-night mountain bike trips. Most groups travel with vehicle support to haul water and gear since there are few reliable water sources along these roads. For the truly adventurous, self-supported trips with panniers and trailers are also possible.
Bikes must remain on designated roads: there are no single-track trails in the park.
Pets are not allowed on any hiking trails, or anywhere off-trail, even while in a carrier, or at any overlooks.
