Outside of Hurricane Utah lies some of the most extreme mountain biking trails in the United States. Fortunately for us Kookz there are also some incredible moderate mesa flow trails out here in the Utah desert right outside of our front door.

Camping and Trails

There are two ways to access these trails and the camping one is the easy way from HWY 9 and head south on Sheep Bridge Road to get to the BLM Campsites Head East off HWY 59 to Sheep Bridge Road. You’ll want to head down the road and camp North of here at the BLM Dispersed Camping Area. This is a great place to camp because you can access the JEM trail from the bottom so you can ride it up and come down on the trail.

From your campsite there are many option to get up to the top of JEM trail our favorite was to head up JEM Trail to Dead Ringer and the back down JEM Trail. Don’t forget to go all the way to the end of JEM Trail past where you camped for an epic ride along the Virgin River Rim.

From here your only 30 minutes from Zion. For some fun adventure ideas in Zion check out these hikes.

Like any other dispersed camping area this is has a 14 night limit and has no services and a drop toilet at Sheep Bridge Trail Head.
