Bull Run Trail
The Bull Run trail is an excellent slickrock and singletrack ride along the cliffs on the northern edge of Bull Canyon. The singletrack is 4.8 miles in length, with a vertical change of 1000 feet. The top altitude is 6000 feet at Highway 313. Riding season is April through mid-November. Bull Run is the first segment of an epic point-to-point ride of 22 miles called the Magnificent 7 or Mag 7. However, Bull Run can be done as a single trail with shuttle, as an out-and-back, or as a loop ride by combining the Gemini Bridges road. |

Drive 13 miles on 313 to the Gemini Bridges sign and turn L onto dirt road. Find a spot to park if you're doing the Mag 7, or riding the loop from the uphill end.
