The trail skirts the edge of the Pink Cliffs, with views to Zion National Park and beyond. An eroded amphitheater in the limestone Pink Cliffs rivals anything at the more famous Cedar Breaks or Bryce Canyon. From the highest point on the ride, the trail starts to descend, skirting the north side of Navajo Peak. Hang a right on the Lodge Trail, and descend several switchbacks. This is an easy climb through Dry Valley.
Some riders prefer to do the Virgin River Rim Trail one way with a car shuttle.
To do this, leave a vehicle at Strawberry Point at the end of the ride.
