Land OwnerUinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest
Great intermediate trail that offers a variety of terrain. The first mile on the north end has some pretty steep climbs/descents (depending on your direction). After that, it levels out to rolling terrain. There are several stream crossings and muddy spots early in the year that nearly all dry out as the summer progresses. This trail connects with several other good trails that make some nice loop rides. This is one of the most used trails in the area.

One of my favorite trails in the area. I usually see horses when I go, so watch out for that. Lots of fun little shootoffs here. I like to do this as an out-and-back to the end of Rock Springs Trail. Nice and flowy singletrack. Also fun to do as a night ride with headlamps

Great trail, I rode up it and it was a nice mellow grade. Dry conditions for the most part, but several stream/spring crossings
