An Advisory to Guests:
Biking Arches is a great way to explore and traverse the park. However, it is strongly recommended to avoid the heat. Peak heat hits in the late afternoon / early evening. Commonly from 3:00 to 6:00 pm. We recommend all bikers be prepared with water storage for 5+ liters of water to manage biking and hiking. There are water refilling stations at the visitor center and devil’s garden trailhead. Guests are strongly encouraged to have a backpack with a water bladder to make hydration storage easier. Our loops are also curated for individual sections of the park, as tackling multiple sections in one day can be a significant test of endurance and is not generally recommended.
