Land OwnerSalt Lake City Parks & Public Lands
This is one of the steepest sustained climbs in the SLC trail system. The lower section is always a mess of deep rain ruts and branches. Make it through that and you have a steep baby-head climb to more baby-heads. Make it to the grassy slope where you take a right turn onto a steep rugged rock face. Climb that and you get to roll a relatively smooth path to a 360 degree view from the top. Sometimes you will find yourself surrounded by dozens of pioneers from “This is the Place” hiking to the top with you.

A solid sub 2hr ride with hard climbs and fun descents. Good weekday ride morning or night.

I think this a great way to enter the roller coaster. The first drop is insane. Stay off the brakes so you make it up the other side or it becomes rather interesting. The rest of the roller coaster is rather tame after this. If you make it to the utility road might as well go to the top for the view, not that difficult from the utility road.

This was awesome. Quite challenging too be honest but the downhill was phenomenal.

This is a fun trail but it is not a great trail to get to rollercoaster! There is a STEEP hill that you need to walk up. (I could barely do it) so only ride this trail up and back down. Not up and over to rollercoaster.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
