What the evening feels like
You arrive in the late afternoon and meet the group before the ride.

After a casual pizza dinner, you head into the mountains as the light softens across the valley.

The ride follows scenic Arapeen trails through canyons and ridgelines, ending the evening gathered around a bonfire with refreshments and good conversation.

As darkness settles in, the ride back into town becomes a slow glowing parade through the canyon.

Parking: If you are staying in Ephraim, I suggest unloading your machine at your motel and riding to the check-in area at 50 E 100 S Ephraim.  You can ride on city streets, just NOT down Main Street, which is a U.S. Highway.  If you are staying in another town, you can park and unload at one of several parking lots listed on the route map.

Trail Map:  I suggest downloading the Arapeen trail map to your smartphone.  Download Instructions.

Whip/Rock Lights:  It is NOT required to have whip lights on your machine to participate in the event, but it is encouraged.   Purchase lights at Gorilla Whips.
