Land OwnerSalt Lake City Parks & Public Lands
Longer Popperton descent. Almost all the fun you can have in 90’ of elevation. Taller berms, more aggressive rollers. Refreshed in spring of 2026.
The grins you’ll get from this trail will remind you of being a kid and ripping the gulley behind your house.
Adaptive Bike Info
aMTB Green Rating: Beginner features and moderate terrain.
Min 48” wide at all times. Generous turn radii. Great berms with long entrances and exits. No tech features. Little to no exposure. Perfect adaptive flow.

Don’t do it for your first trail. Turns can be difficult for first time rider.
