Bring bearspray. Mid to late summer is the best time to do this route. Once you're in SC you are committed.

Loop beginning at the base of Peets Hill. Head out of town via your preferred method. More singletrack and elevation to take painted hills. Head up Sourdough canyon for a nice dirt warmup and connect into the singletrack climb into Moser. Descend either road or sneaky singletrack to Hyalite canyon rd. Hop onto Langohr rd to take the chill way to the top of the History Rock trail. Enjoy the view of where you be in a couple of hours
Descend back to Hyalite Canyon Rd. and climb up to the reservoir lot. Watch for traffic, it can be busy on weekends. Great opportunity to refill on water at the hand pump (may need a filter?) in the parking lot (west side). Also if you're bold and want to jump in the water its a great chance before the largest climb of the day.
HEad up the main MT. Blackmore trail and tart off with an enjoyable climb and fun descent to the lake. From here the climbing gets serious and many will hike-a-bike the majority of the climb (~3400' over 5mi). Make sure to bring an extra layer as the saddle & peak are very exposed. If you're up there it is worth the visit to the peak, otherwise, the trail continues from the saddle. Descend the old school, full backcountry trail all the way to the "3rd bridge" of South Cottonwood. Be aware the trail can be tough to follow in places due to the overgrowth and this is the most remote part of this ride. Plenty of pedal grabbers and opportunity for error. Enjoy the scenery and take in the alpine experience! And of your seeking a bit of fun rowdy trail, plus some more vert, head up Wheeler for an out and back of whatever length you want. From the third bridge down toward the trailhead keep an eye out for other users as this is one of the most popular trailheads in the valley.
Spin it back to town on whichever route fits your needs! A popular choice would be to ride 19th to fowler and there are multiple options of food back in town.

A dozen downed trees of medium to large size. None that bad to crawl over. Trail overgrown from summer sun. All in all, worth it if combining with other trails in the area.

One rather large tree down between the two sets of switchbacks.
