Church Rocks
is a great short ride in the St. George area.  It's not to difficult, and has a nice slickrock playground and a very fast singletrack! You get to cross underneath of I-15 in a drainage tunnel that alone makes the ride interesting!

How to get there:  Take Exit 10 from I-15, turn east on Telegraph Street, at the top of the hill, look for a dirt road heading north with a yellow cattle guard (see picture below).   Park here, vehicles are no longer allowed on the dirt road leading to Church Rocks.

Scenery:

Length:  6.5 miles out and back with a loop at the end. This ride starts out on a gravel road, then goes into the dark tunnel, through some nasty sand and up a slickrock ramp.  It finishes out with a singletrack loop.
