Upper Rattlesnake Arches (Bike and Hike)

Join us for an adventure ride— bike and hike to Upper Rattlesnake Arches! We will bike to the TH, stash our bikes and hike Upper Rattlesnake trail.

This route is about 25 miles & 2500 gain. Good fitness and endurance required. See rough mileage/elevation gain of the route here (route could change slightly, depending on conditions):

Please note: The road to the Rattlesnakes TH is primarily 2WD gravel, except for the last 1.5 miles, which is rated as 4x4 (rugged and rutted out in places). Given this 4x4 section of road and the length of the ride, I’d rate this as strong intermediate level. Regardless, it will be a scenic adventure to a hidden treasure with great company.

We will park and meet here:
