 | Virgin River Rim Trail
Navajo Peak Section
The Navajo Peak section of the Virgin River Rim Trail offers nice out-and-back or loop ride options. This is the most popular segment of the VRRT, usually accessed from Navajo Lake. This ride is intermediate in technical requirement but mildly strenuous due to elevation of 9800 feet. Trail conditions, alignments, and connections will change. Use this guide at your own risk.
