Yes, nearly closed, as the Coyote Canyon road is being built. They don't want hike a bikers slowing the heavy equipment. Access Lower Coyote Loop switchbacks from Sheep Pen and Sheep Pen Connector, that's off Middle Earth South.

Riding this trail backwards from how it is listed here is awesome. East and small amount of climbing followed by a long, flowy, fast cruse. Great way to warm up for Coyote loop trail.

Not sure why this trail doesn't get more love. It's the best way to access the best part of the Coyote Loop Trail. Yes, climbing, but wonderful grade, completely rideable. And, really, at 1700 feet or so from the UVU lot, it's not that much climb. If you enjoy climbing, as I do, it's excellent, with an awesome payoff of a few miles of relatively level cruising through aspen forests and wildflower meadows.

Enjoyed the full loop yesterday. A few new flow trails are being added to mix things up. It is a pretty great trail system!

Trail rode excellent today, some wet patches in shaded drainages and washes, a fantastic flowing experience.

Rode 11/3/2020 and lost an airpod, probably in the parking lot (south side). I know this is a long shot but if someone comes upon it, please reach out!

Had a blast riding down this trail, a great way to end a long loop ride. A solid blue effort, nothing I would call black.

Trail description sums it up well. Lots of tight switch backs and a grind going up but easily doable with moderate climbing abilities.

Really enjoyed the ride, but I would suggest this be directional, CCW. The switchbacks are way too tight for the higher speeds the backside commands. Perhaps it was designed this way for climbs either way but flow turns could have better planned.

NORTH end is good to the road on the ridge, then it's ungroomed South of that. We turned around there (near Sufferin' Succotash), trail was a mess. A lot of wind blown snow moved around.
