Best 2 beginner rides in St George!
Drive: Bear Claw Poppy Navajo Trailhead, St George
Activities:
Bear Claw Poppy Trail Area- 5 mile out and back and loop rides from beginner to advanced. We went up Bear Claw Poppy 2 miles, connected to the downhill only trail and rode back along the base of the bluff. Uphill was mostly gentle uphill flat. Downhill was smooth rolling up and down hills with options for higher hills and drops. Trip Report
Secret Sauce/Claim Jumper - 4 mile loop. We went up from the west and hit the Lower Secret Sauce trail along the top of the bluff and then went down Claim Jumper which was more windy and rocky but beginners did great after warming up on Bear Claw Poppy. Trail Report.
