Jun 08, 2026 Great Western Trail: Parleys to Sheep Canyon Trail Report

I started at the golf course and went up the Alexander Creek Trail, where I've explored quite a bit. I thought that I would make a loop using this connecting trail. I'm on a E-Mt bike and the trail wasn't all that difficult, but did take some time. The beginning, steep section was a bit overgrown like a lot of the GWTrails and it was a slow go. But the rest of the trail was doable. This was last Fall and I actually finished in darkness. I think in daylight it would be much more fun and scenic. The trail appeared to end on the frontage road so I took that back to the Lambs Canyon intersection. I wanted to get back to the parking lot through the golf course but I didn't know the way, so I opted to go down the final 5 miles on I-80. Now that was the scariest part of the whole ride!
