This board seems pretty much dead but I would like to let you know that there are some really great trails near Vernal, UT and Flaming Gorge Dam.

There is a group here that goes out quite a bit. The group is headed by the owner of a bike shop here, Altitude Cycle. They have created new trails and revitalized interest in old ones. They have sparked interest in our area's attractions and I think it's great.

One very easy trail that I like is call 'Got Cookies?' The group are excited to participate in events in our area and I hear of their sponsorship quite often.

If anyone is interested I would be glad to get more information for you.

Interesting...my sister in law was proposing a Memorial day camping trip to dinosaur nat'l park. I think that is near Vernal though when I read the description it didn't sound like much of the park was bikable...so outside the park it is different?

Bocephus,
There are a lot of great trails here. Altitude Cycle here in Vernal is a great resource for maps, info and ect. www.altitudecycle.com (http://www.altitudecycle.com)

Check them out. The owner is Troy Lupcho (pronounced Lupko). He has always been a very cool guy to us.

Let me know if you need anything more.

Camping sites are plentiful. Places to stay here(hotels and junk) are everywhere in Vernal. There are a couple of lodges near Flaming Gorge, too....Red Canyon Lodge and Flaming Gorge Lodge...both of which have websites if you search the internet.

Good Luck!
