Kenilworth Loop

Type: Loop
Rating: Intermediate
Length: 14 miles
Notes: Can be very hot in summer

THE RIDE: his route begins in Price and turns around in the town of Kenilworth, home to one of the area's first coal mines. The town is situated in a picturesque setting on the lower slopes of the Book Cliffs. This route can be very hot in summer so it is best to ride it in the morning or evening hours during the warmer months. There are also several trails in this area that may be rocky and technical.

Directions: On your bike from downtown Price, head north on 3rd East past the College of Eastern Utah. Zigzag northwest and up a short and steep hill onto the Wood Hill plateau, aiming for the radio towers. There is a fine vista of Price from this point.

Continue north on the 4WD road that rises from Wood Hill along the plateau. Near the summit of this plateau, the road veers downhill and drops into the town of Kenilworth. Please respect private property in this area. From Kenilworth, cross over the railroad grade to the east and follow the dirt road along the base of the cliffs. Any of the routes to your right here will go south and parallel the plateau which you came up. At the edge of the plateau there are fine views of the Price Valley.

Descend the steep rocky plateau and follow the dirt road south back to Price.
