Cascade Falls Loop
Cascade Falls Loop is singletrack
heaven on Earth!! That pretty well sums up this ride, I loved it!!
Lots of singletrack, a little graded road, lots of tough long hill climbs,
followed by wicked, wild fun descents. This is what mountain biking
is all about!!! Add in unparalleled scenery and great friends and
this is heaven!!
How to get there: From Cedar City take highway 14 east up the canyon, follow the signs for Navajo Lake. Take the road around the south side of the lake to Te-Ah Campground. The trail is labeled both Navajo Lake Loop and Virgin River Rim Trail. Look for it on your left just before Te-Ah campground. When the singletrack crosses the road, turn to your right and follow the road around to Cascade Falls. You will see a sign for the Cascade Falls trail at the parking area (see the picture below).
Length: 18.5 mile loop
Trailhead elevation: 9,035' Highest Point: 9,675'
