Add a little moonlight to your next adventure in St George.
Starting this month (tomorrow), Kova Rentals is offering a new kind of late-night experience: the
Full Moon Ride. It's an even cooler and more unique moonlit ride along the canyon rim under the brightest night skies of each month.
Timed to start at 10PM, this ride takes advantage of the full moon's brightest glow, offering better nighttime views of Southern Utah and a unique way to explore the area in the dark. It's a ride you can only take a few nights each month, and one you won't forget. There's nothing like watching the desert come alive in the moonlight. You might even spot some wildlife along the paved paths. There's more movement than you might expect in the middle of the night. The desert doesn't sleep, it just gets quieter.
The Full Moon Ride is only available three nights each month—the night before, the night of, and the night after the full moon. That's when the light is the brightest and the views at their best.
Like the
Night Ride, this midnight ride is great for skipping the heat and enjoying the quiet beauty of the desert on your own time. It's one of our favorite rides!
Check our booking calendar to see upcoming full moon dates and grab a spot. If you don't see any available dates, then the full moon may have already passed that month, and the next available dates are the following month.
Quick Full Moon Ride FAQ
How long is the ride?
This ride is a 4-hour slot starting at 10PM and ending at 2AM. All bikes must be returned by 2AM, even if picked up late.
How often is the Full Moon Ride available?
Only three nights per month—the night before, the night of, and the night after the technical full moon. The difference in brightness on the day before and after are imperceptible without a telescope, so they make for great rides too!
Do I need a headlamp or flashlight?
All our bikes are equipped with headlights, and the light of the full moon does most of the heavy lifting in terms of nighttime visibility. That said, if you have your own light, you're certainly welcome to use it. However, we do not recommend a typical flashlight or any implement that might occupy your hands while riding.
Is it safe to ride at night?
Yes! Our bikes are equipped with lights, and the trails here are paved and see low traffic at these hours. As with any nighttime outdoor activity, it's a good idea to ride with a friend or a small group. Plus, it makes the ride even more fun.
What should I wear or bring?
We recommend light layers. It can cool off quickly at night, even in the hottest months. A bottle of water and a phone are strongly encouraged.
