CAUTION

Washouts increase mountain-bike trail difficulty

Use caution on Dead Horse Point State Park mountain-bike trails: recent washouts have increased the difficulty of some trails beyond what the park map shows, particularly along the Big Chief loop. - The washouts are the reason for the increased difficulty; expect affected trails to be harder than indicated on the park map. - The park’s current conditions page says hiking trails are mostly dry. Check current mountain-bike trail conditions before setting out.
