The St George UT Loop is a paved ride located in Southwestern Utah. Starting in St George, this loop follows the Virgin River through the low mountains before emerging onto the open desert.
Turning North, riders follow the curving Santa Clara river valley past the picturesque Gunlock Reservoir, slowly climbing in altitude until finally arriving in the small town of Veyo.
On the way back to St George, this ride takes a side trip through Snow Canyon State Park. This side trip gives riders the opportunity to see several unique rock formations and other amazing sights.
Upon returning to St George, riders can cut the ride short and return to the starting point, or continue to follow the loop past Pioneer Park and around the Southeast side of St. George. This additional loop will take riders through the desert surrounding St George and Sand Hollow State Park. This is a great way to finish out a fun ride.
