Summer Activities in Brian Head

Mountain Biking

The Brian Head area is becoming a mountain bikers mecca each May through October. The high elevation atop the plateau creates a cool mountain setting perfect for escaping the summer heat. Scenic single-track and double track trails are suitable for beginners as well as advanced riders. Families will enjoy the Pioneer Cabins route, while the 14-mile Dark Hollow / Second Left Hand Canyon trail is geared to the intermediate and advanced riders. A shuttle or a chairlift will take you to the top of many trails, where you can cruise downhill through forests and red rock country, then ride a shuttle back to Brian Head. In the higher elevations, you'll be rewarded with a sweeping view of Zion National Park when you ride from Duck Creek Village to Strawberry Point.

Fishing

Drop your fishing line into a lake or stream and chances are you'll pull up a rainbow, German brown or brook trout. Southern Utah has 20 reservoirs, 9 natural lakes and 10 creeks and rivers that are open and stocked for fishing. Which is the best is a matter of opinion because every place is some fisherman's secret spot.

Hiking

Enjoy the splendor of nature on one of Brian Head's many hiking trails. The Ramparts Rim Trail and the hike into the Alpine Pond area are lots of fun and very scenic. There is an interpretive guide available for the Alpine Pond trail that makes for a very interesting and educational hike. These hikes are short but well worth the time. This area is alpine in nature and makes a fascinating trip to the top of what is called the Grand Staircase (not to be confused with the Grand Staircase/Escalante Monument located 60 miles to the east). Brian Head Peak is over 11,000 feet in elevation and very close to Cedar Breaks. In the summer, Brian Head Resort offers chairlift rides to the top, where hikers and mountain bikers can find over 100 miles of back-country trails.

Golfing

What could be more relaxing than a round of golf at Cedar Ridge Golf Course? The beautiful scenery, teeing within minutes of arriving and knowing that you can play in seclusion, without being rushed through your normal round is pure relaxation.

While Cedar Ridge is probably not as well known as some of the courses to the south, it is one of the state's finest community operated courses. The course also has a well-stocked pro golf shop and clubhouse with a snack bar. The course is friendly enough for beginners, but has plenty of challenges for the seasoned golfer.
