Trail guide · Brian Head, Utah (Dixie National Forest / Brian Head Town)

Brian Head

High-elevation resort bike park and Dixie National Forest backcountry; e-bikes are restricted.

Verify before you ride. E-bike rules differ by land manager and even by trail, and they change. Everything here was read from public pages on Oct 31, 2026 (America/Denver). We are not a land manager, and nothing on this site is legal advice. Check the agency and trailhead signs; when a source is missing we say "unverified."

E-bike statusNot allowed All e-bikes prohibited on the resort bike park trails and chairlift. Forest backcountry: motorized trails only.
  • Brian Head Resort: the bike park operates primarily within Dixie National Forest; current Forest Service policy prohibits e-bikes on all non-motorized trails, so e-bikes of any style or type are not allowed on bike park trails or chairlifts.[1]
  • USFS: Class 1, 2 and 3 e-bikes are allowed on motorized trails and roads on national forests; some year-round resorts under special use permit have established e-bike use within their permit boundary (Brian Head has stated it does not).[3][1]
  • Brian Head Town Trails Master Plan (2025 rewrite): its paved non-motorized trail standard lists "Class 1 E-Bikes allowed with 10mph speed limit". This is a plan standard; we did not confirm a posted ordinance for specific trails.[2]
E-bike classesResort bike park: none. Forest motorized roads/trails: Class 1–3 (USFS). Town paved trails: Class 1 at 10 mph per the plan standard (verify).
DifficultyResort bike park trails range from Beginner (Color Flow) through Intermediate (Little/Upper Glitter, Lower Glitter) to Advanced (Tank's Track).[4]
