Description
The Mount Nebo loop from Doanville is a fantastic road cycling route if you're looking for a solid challenge with incredible views. This moderate 29.8-mile (47.9 km) ride packs in 2155 feet (657 metres) of elevation gain, taking about 3 hours and 15 minutes to complete, making it a rewarding day out for cyclists ready for a sustained climb.
What to expect on Mount Nebo loop from Doanville
As you tackle the Mount Nebo loop, you'll experience a dramatic shift in scenery, transitioning from oak and juniper trees at lower elevations to dense evergreen and aspen forests higher up. Keep an eye out for the stunning red rock formations at Devil's Kitchen, which resemble a miniature Bryce Canyon, and the serene Payson Lakes, perfect for a quick break. The route offers panoramic views of the surrounding valleys and Mount Nebo itself, but be prepared for a significant workout; the climbs are sustained, and the descent can be steep and winding, requiring careful handling. This ride is best for cyclists who enjoy a challenging ascent rewarded with diverse landscapes.
Planning your visit
Planning your ride on the Mount Nebo loop requires some preparation. The road is typically open from springtime, once the snow clears, until late October when gates close for winter, with wildflowers abundant from June through September and vibrant fall foliage in autumn. There is no water available along the route, so carry plenty, especially during warmer months, and be aware that cell phone service can be spotty. While specific parking for a "Doanville" start isn't detailed, the route is part of a National Scenic Byway, so expect limited amenities once you're on the road.
