Race Loop heads up to a Ridge and plunges back down. Big Hole Loop is 7 miles intermediate with some tech, 500' of climbing. Three Peaks loop is 10.2 miles with some of the riding on pink granite. Most of the trail has pines and junipers. Expect solitude as I saw no one on these trails.
Northwest of Cedar City, Three Peaks recreation area is a large local park with camping. Altitude 5800'. From I-15 Center exit #59 head west on highway U-56 for 3 miles to Lund Hwy, north 5 miles to Mid Valley Rd, trun west 2 miles to Three Peaks parking.
