RIDING TYPE | ■︎ Intermediate
TRIP DURATION | 5-Days
SEASON | April – May & September – October
The San Rafael Swell, a geologic wonder formed 50 million years ago, was created when volcanic activity deep below the surface pushed a huge swath of land upwards, causing the landscape to take the shape of a giant anticline. Nestled between southern Utah’s concentration of National Parks, the Swell is a focal point of recreation. We'll visit Native American cultures such as Fremont, Ute and Paiute, discover their rock writings and ancient structures as we ride from landmark to landmark. Rich in natural history and unique geology, riding the ‘behind the reef’ roads shows the real beauty of a place less discovered. From fossils to rock art, slot canyons to grand canyons, the natural landscapes are vast and ready for adventure.
