STUCKI SPRINGS – ST GEORGE, UT
Difficulty Level: Intermediate
Distance: 13.7 miles round-trip
TRAIL SUMMARY
Stucki Springs is a break-off from the Bearclaw Poppy Loop. With a total distance of about 14 miles, it’s a good way to expand Bearclaw into a longer trail. Also, it is a rarely ridden trail, so you’ll be able to stay away from the crowds. There are some awesome cliffs with great views of the desert, and I have seen desert tortoises on the Stucki Springs Trail more than any other trail. The actual Stucki Springs has an old watering hole for cattle but it seems to be dried up currently.
