St George Bear Claw Poppy Trail

St George has the best trail for both kids and adults!  Bear Claw Poppy is so much fun and is like a huge BMX track.  Great for beginners kids to adults.  The trail offers marked signes to direct riders to easy or more difficult trails.   The easy and more difficutlt trails all intercect and travel in the same direction.   If you have a little kids who don't want a crazy ride then they can just stay on the easy(green sign) trails.

You can ride Bear Claw Poppy as a out and back.  Start at the most south west trail head and bike up as far as you want to go and then return.  You can avoid much of the advanced trail by just doing an out and back.  You can also be dropped off at the top of trail on the North west side and ride back to the trail head.  This way there are many large advanced drop off and jumps.


To get to the upper trail head: I-15 to Dixie Drive, South on Canyon View Drive.

Past the Green Vally Resort.

The road turns into a dirt road.  At the yeld sign turn right and go down the hill.
This area is used a lot by dirt bikes and 4 wheelers.
Once at the bottom you will see a main dirt road that travels south and up a big hill.


Follow dirt road up the hill to the gate and big parking lot.  If you have a driver you can drop bikers off here and the driver can meet you at the other end.  Bike up the dirt road to the trail head


You will see a gate you have to lift your bikes over. 

Right past the gate is the Bearclaw Poppy sign.

Now the FUN begins!  The first part of the trail has both easy and more difficult.


Once at the bottom follow the trail South.


You can go as slow or as fast as you want.  All trails end up at the same area.
