Grand Canyon Biking, Bike Trails

Grand Canyon National Park is a beautiful place that is enjoyed by many thousands of visitors each year. Many go for the scenery and special tours. Although only allowed on established roads, biking offers a unique way to see the park from the rim.

Biking in Grand Canyon is a unique way that many people use to enjoy the beauty and adventures that the park has to offer. Many exciting routes are possible, traversing up hill and downhill along the park's many roads. However, being one of the most popular parks in the country, cyclists have to exercise caution given the level of vehicles that also share the roads.

At present there are no bicycle rentals available within the park. Visitors can used both the unpaved and paved roads that meander in and out of the varied park areas.

The best route through the Grand Canyon National Park for cyclists is Hermit Road. It can be accessed from the South Rim entrance and is open all year round. It is a very narrow route and cyclists are advised to avoid passing, but dismount on the right shoulders, watching out for the many tour buses that guide other enthusiastic visitors through the park in the summer.
