About Rim Trail
Recommended Users: Mountain Bikers, Hikers, Equestrians. Single-track trail. 7.3 miles in length. Difficulty: Moderate/More Difficult. The Rim Trail is single-track: some smooth, some rocky, some rock slabs, and some steep sections. It follows the south rim of the Virgin River and snakes around a few deep tributary canyons. There are good views of Hurricane and LaVerkin, the Virgin River, numerous surrounding mesas, and expansive desert landscapes. Keep your eyes open for hawks, and other birds, as they enjoy the proximity to the cliffs and the river. Hiking Loop: For a 7 mile loop starting from the Virgin Dam Trailhead, take the Rim Trail heading east, turn off onto the Canal Trail and continue until it reaches the Rim Trail again. Then head northeast to return to the trailhead. Mountain Biking Loop: Numerous looping opportunities are available.
