Awesome trail. Too bad it's over so fast after grinding all the way up that awful climb haha.

Trail Honeycomb Canyon
Wow. Do not take this route lightly. The climb up summit road is a brutal steep, loose, and exposed ascent. Honeycomb starts with narrow tech and a big drop off to the left. It is followed by super steep riding and a brutal rock garden. I would not try this alone as you can easily injure yourself on this route.

I hiked and cleared a lot of logs/boulders that were moved into the middle of the trail by a angry hiker yesterday, keep your head up in case they get moved back.

It is beautiful. That rock garden is a work of savage art. If you decided to grind all the way to the top of that and don't like tech, you probably didn't read any of the descriptions beforehand. Trail is clear as of 9/27, moved o couple loose pieces of wood and basketball sized rocks (loose I promise) from trail.

There's about 100-200 yards of gnarly AF rock garden right now. Everything else is stupid fun.

Very cool and relatively well built trail with an absolutely savage rock garden towards the bottom. It goes on forever. One of the better dh lines in the wasatch.

A fantastically technical descent. Entirely rideable, but ill-advised on weekends.

Rode up from Brighton to Alta and back. Its hard going getting up to the ridgeline of LCC, and on the way up, its probably at least 30% hike-a-bike. Coming down from the ridge to Brighton it is mostly rideable, there's a couple section of burly boulder fields that I would say are totally unrideable. Lots of hikers/young families on the lower section of the trail.

Mostly a hiking trail but if you like a hard tech climb then go for it! Great views but crowded on the weekends
