Bicycling

Burr Trail. Mountain bikers and even road bikers enjoy tackling portions of the famous Burr Trail, a 66-mile backcountry route crosses east through the monument into the southern portion of Capitol Reef National Park—the 31 miles from Boulder to the park's western border is paved, which means it's also easily passable and more popular with passenger cars. Beyond the paved stretch, it's another 35 unpaved miles, briefly through Capitol Reef's and crossing the amazing scenery of Waterpocket Fold, and then eventually to paved Highway 276 and the village of Bullfrog, at the northern end of Glen Canyon.
