A rocky landscape featuring a natural stone arch, surrounded by sparse vegetation and distant hills under a clear blue sky. The sun highlights the textures of the sandstone and the greenery along the edges. Westwater Mesa / Overlook mountain bike trail.

Mountain Biking Westwater Mesa / Overlook

****   Add a review
#174 of 709 mountain bike trails in Utah

Scenic trails that mostly follow the Colorado River canyon rim. Singletrack is used by motorcycles, but is surprisingly solid. There are a few junctions along the way that can be confusing, but it you stay along the rim until the back side of the lollipop then you should be fine. However, I recommend getting the regional guidebook to keep you straight. This trail can connect with the Western Rim trail via the Western Rim Connector (see guidebook). A good, solid, scenic ride with mileage and some technical areas.
