About the event
The Navajo Lake Loop Trail is a beautiful winding trail that provides great views of this naturally occurring lake formed by ancient lava flows. This 11.5 mile loop trail rides through pine trees and aspen stands and takes you on a lovely winding path through the ancient lava flow at the east end of the lake. This trail is high altitude at 9,000+ ft, hard packed w/ some rocky sections and is rated easy. Â Your equine will need to be in good condition for the higher altitide and desensitized as this trail is popular for both hikers and bicycles. Â Expect four hours in the saddle with a lunch break. There is the option to add another mile if we take the Spruces Trail (when clear of downfall) to the Virgin River Rim Trail for spectacular views of Pink Cliffs and Zion National Park.
You must RSVP for this ride so we know who is coming, please plan to arrive early so you and your equine are ready to ride by 10 am. Afternoon thunderstorms are common this time of year, so we will start promptly at 10:00 and pack rain gear so you aren’t caught unprepared. There has been some construction on Highway 14 please allow yourself a little extra time. Directions from Cedar City: Take Highway 14 east, turn right 0.5 miles after mile marker 25 at the Navajo Lake junction (FS road #30053). Follow this road all the way around to the west end of the lake. The trailhead is located just east of the Te-Ah campground.
