Overview

The Parowan Gap area offers easy riding through high desert terrain with the added bonus of ancient Native American petroglyphs. This is an excellent choice for beginners or those looking for a relaxed ride with cultural significance.

The Petroglyphs

The Parowan Gap contains one of the largest and most significant collections of Native American rock art in Utah, dating back thousands of years. Park your ATV and take time to explore these amazing artifacts on foot.

Trail Options

Gap Road

The main route through the gap is an easy gravel road suitable for all skill levels. It connects to the BLM lands on either side with numerous side trails to explore.

Little Salt Lake Loop

A 20-mile loop around the dry lake bed, offering wide-open riding with views of the surrounding mountains.

Best Season

Unlike the higher elevation trails, Parowan Gap is accessible nearly year-round, making it a great option in spring and fall when mountain trails are closed.

Getting There

From D&P Performance in Cedar City, head north on I-15 to the Parowan exit, then west on Highway 130. The gap is about 30 minutes from our dealership.
