 | Bull Canyon Trail
Bull Canyon is a popular ATV route off the Gemini Bridges Road north of Moab. It's worth doing, maybe not as a destination ride, but as a side dish to another ride in the area. The usual turn-around is the foot trail to below Gemini Bridges, but you can ride further up the canyon. Select one of the three rides below, or make up your own. Trail conditions change. Use this guide at your own risk. |
