Snake Hollow is the only year-round bike park in the entire state of Utah and the first of its kind south of the Wasatch front. Encompassing 80 acres of land across from Snow Canyon High School, it includes hundreds of features and four skill zones: Rattler’s Revenge (dirt jump zone), Snake Den (pump track and skills loop), Venom Drops (gravity skills) and Sidewinder Slopestyle (gravity jump trails).

Skill levels on the course range from beginner to professional. No motorcycles or motorized vehicles are allowed.

Ethan Nell, a professional rider from St. George, says the course is “unreal” and he sure wishes he had a safe place like Snake Hollow to ride when he was a kid.

“There’s good jumps to pump tracks, and anyone can enjoy it,” he said. “It’s pretty cool.”

The park also includes a large pavilion, restrooms, paved trails, utility connections and a gravel parking lot.

Remember to always wear a helmet, bring your knee pads and if you fall, get back up and try again.
