Land Owner
Easy, directional climb that ascends the lower Bearclaw Poppy loop. The sanctioned trail is delineated by a series of wooden fences and trail markers installed to define the intended path of travel and protect the habitat of the Dwarf Bearclaw Poppy.
The Bearclaw Poppy Trail resides in the BLM’s Red Bluff Area of Critical Environmental Concern, one of the most fragile ecosystems in the southwestern United States. It’s managed largely for the protection of the Dwarf Bearclaw Poppy. The only place on earth this plant grows is in gypsiferous clay soils in Washington County, Utah. Do your part to protect its habitat by obeying posted signage and traveling only on established trails.
Access to Bearclaw Poppy is a privilege, not a right. There’s potential for permanent closure of this trail due to the proliferation of new user-created routes, off-trail travel, and poor etiquette by the cycling community in general. Do your part to set a good example and help spread the word to riders that don’t understand the implications of poor trail etiquette.
Adaptive Bike Info
The trail itself would be rated aMTB2 but the gate is 28” wide and not accessible to all aMTB riders. There is just one slightly narrow off-camber spot
