To find some pavement for a casual bike ride, pedal along Chinle Road to the Old Highway east of Kanab and south of Highway 89. Six miles of gradual grades take you east through the sagebrush plain until you reach Highway 89 (some riders use Hwy 89 to make a loop).
To the north, you’ll see the dramatic Vermilion Cliffs as they parallel your route. To your south the Kaibab Plateau rises up and stretches along the horizon, it’s uppermost reaches blanketed in ponderosa forest.
