From the University: Fun ridge-line trail right above the Huntsman Center. Goes straight up the hill from JCC. Good views; fast, steep descent. This trail is mostly used for hiking. Some crazy adventure riders like to hike-a-bike up this. The hike up the ridge has steep and loose, even for hikers, but offers a great view and is fun hike close to the city.
From Red Butte: The trail is rideable for about 50% of the mileage to the top, though very sustained and hot in the southern exposure. At a point, the trail turns straight uphill on unrideable broken terrain before becoming rideable again for the last quarter mile. Descending to the north is steep single to doubletrack with small rocks. The views into Dry Canyon are great and the descent to the hill above Huntsman passes quickly.
