Red Loop - Backbone
You will head out with the yellow loop runners for the first mile and take a tour around Zion Ponderosa Ranch. You will then part ways from your friends on the Yellow Loop and continue up the trail through the trees, gaining 400 feet in about a mile and a half. Keep on going and dig deeper cause this loop is not an easy one! The ATV trail will keep going up up up! Pay attention to the signs as you will make a sharp right onto another ATV trail that will quickly turn into single track and you will be on a roller coaster ride for about a mile through the pines going over several bridges. Watch your step! You will be rewarded with beautiful views of Zion National Park so bring your camera! Once you are off the single track it's all downhill from here! But you are only at the halfway mark. Be sure to fill up at the water station and hydrate before finishing up the final few miles on double track and some single track before returning to the Village. You will soon join back up with yellow loop runners around and, if you have the energy to talk, you can compare your journeys. Enjoy!
