Popular Santaquin Mountain Biking Trails
• 80 ★ 0.0 • 2,425 ft • 99 ft • 87 •
The main access trail for the south side of the park, connecting to all the others. Crosses the road, then a bridge, then a nice walk in the woods.
• 95 ★ 4.5 • 2,995 ft • 224 ft • 86 •
A new trail through the woods on the south side of the canyon. Much more shade than the trails on the north side. Probably the best route for hikers trying to get to the top.
• 85 ★ 3.8 • 5,089 ft • 344 ft • 76 •
Flowy cross-country trail, with some steep sections and some loops through the flat mid-hill meadow. Less machined than Little May, with more rocks and bumps.
• 55 ★ 2.5 • 1 mile • 74 ft • 71 •
A new multi-use trail climbing out of Santaquin Canyon with some great views. Grades are very reasonable for climbing. Even though it is an a generally south-facing slope, there are some shady spots.
• 100 ★ 4.5 • 1 mile • 232 ft • 64 •
A pleasant walk or ride through the woods along Santaquin Creek, mostly on top of Santaquin's water supply pipeline. Because it is generally below and across the creek from the road, it is quiet and wild. Above the diversion structure,...
• 55 ★ 0.0 • 3,799 ft • 20 ft • 62 •
A shorter but steeper and less shady alternative to the western trail.
• 70 ★ 0.0 • 4,524 ft • 0 ft • 60 •
Union Chief is a fast decent with a fair amount of easy to moderate tech, this trail is both directions but preferred as a downhill from the prospector junction.
