Hurricane Mountain Bike Festival

Date: March 25, 2022 to March 27, 2022

Come ride with us Friday March 25th - Sunday March 27th, 2022!

Riding bikes and having fun is what this festival is all about. There will be TONS of riding, Shuttles, delicious meals, a craft beer garden, fun (and slightly competitive) bike games like the log pull contest, food trucks, lots of rad prizes and a chance to ride some of the industry's best demo bikes. {Demo bikes will be limited in 2021}

Make it a vacation and bring the whole family because there is something for everyone! You might plan to bike and hike in Zion National Park but there is much more to see and do here in the Zion area. Hire a guide and go rock climbing! Maybe spend the day at a ranch and ride horses! Stay cool by playing in the lakes and hanging at the beach. The golfing is amazing and there are dinosaur tracks just down the street!
