Biking the Aquarius Trail in Utah
By Stephanie Pearson | Published in Outside May 30, 2023 It took 20 years of planning to open the new 190-mile Aquarius Trail bikepacking hut
From the seat of your bike you will experience Brian Head Peak, at a towering 11,306 ft., down Proctor Canyon into quaint little town of Hatch. Meander past the Tropic Reservoir and ride on into Red Canyon, home of the infamous Thunder Mountain Trail and the Red Canyon Bike Path.
Complete with foot pump showers, solar power for charging electronic devices, fully-stocked kitchens with a refrigerator and freezer, lighting, hammocks, large decks, bathroom facilities, bicycle repair tools and stands, playing cards, fire pit, cozy sleeping arrangements, and more, the Aquarius Trail Hut System provides a unique bikepacking experience like no other.
When the Aquarius Hut Trail Network was announced last year, our exploratory interests were piqued. Home to the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument, southern Utah has become one of our favorite destinations.
