The Dixie 200 is 205 miles of spectacular variation in the mountains, high plateaus, canyons and hoodoos of southern Utah. It originated in 2011 as a combination of the best of the Dixie 311, a more rugged and challenging adventure and the Dixie Lite, an intro to bikepacking. Fast forward to 2017: the Brian Head fire raged through much of the area, wiping out key sections making a loop impractical. Trail work in 2018 made possible a revised route that is even more compelling than the original. It features new trails, added trails, and a taste of the Sevier Plateau. The route is now oriented clockwise.

Does anyone know if this Dixie 200 route is rideable in mid-October? I'm from Colorado, the riding at higher elevations is usually snow/mud by mid October. But wondering about this area? Any info appreciated, thanks!

We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!

It’s been a while since I’ve ridden this, but I didn’t remember the lower section being so beat up and rocky. I suspect the horses are really hard on the trail in the steeper spots, and some riders.

Many of the washes flowed recently and deposited some debris on the trail, but it is still passable for any user. The rain also made the dirt great and the sandier sections a little bit firmer.
