Land Owner
A nice way to connect Rivendell with Lower Riverview trails. The climb is short and built on a nice grade. Switchbacks are tight but very manageable. Some loose rocks when it gets dry, but great dirt after a rain storm, as the South facing trails in Riverview system handle moisture better than most in the area. If you can plan your route to go up this trail and down Frodo's Playground
Access Info
Head straight up from the back of the UVU Heber campus parking lot, when you get to the canal crossing, you'll see the trailhead on your left.
Adaptive Bike Info
aMTB Blue Rating: Intermediate features and steeper terrain.
TIGHT switchbacks. Not recommended to ride downhill.

Lots of switchbacks. A lot of loose rocks on 75% of this trail. A lot of rock gardens at the top....
ahhchon
i used this primarily as a climbing trail. if you're riding on a sunny day, it def bakes you. otherwise, the grade is super casual.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
