Trail Lava Flow
Fun but not as fun as some of the others. Even iron giant is better.

Trail The C Trail
This trail sucks. Iron hills has tons of fun trails but this is not one. 3-4 feet wide at all times, boring straight loose rock then switchback. Imagine that about 20 times and you know what this trail is like. Don’t waste your time like we did

Trail The C Trail
I rode from the "C" to the highlands trail turnoff. This upper section of the trail was more rideable and less rocky than the lower portion. The top section has a few sharp turns and some chucky stuff. This portion is advanced intermediate. Highlands trail is really fun, fast, and flowy.

Trail The C Trail
Some fun sections but most of it was very techy and steep. Pretty much was always on the brakes the entire way down. Hard to get flow going due to the frequency of turns, the majority of which lack proper berms.

Been riding in Bryce and Hurricane for a week and gave Cedar city a whirl. Glad we did! Great fun flowy trails up and down! Just pure mountain biking fun! Hats off to the biking community here! This area has so much potential to become a big destination!

Trail The C Trail
I like this trail but as noted above it was chattery and had lots of loose rock. I also encountered 4 groups of people hiking up the trail. I had fun for sure but was wary of my speed due to the above factors.

A guy at the bike shop said the trail was all clear. The trail is NOT all clear! Lots of snow for the first half increase difficulty. Probably just skip it until spring.

Definitely a decent but a very rocky one. A good way to beat up your bike (and you). Its too rocky and has too many turns to just fly down.
