Land OwnerSolitude Mountain Resort
This is the main Solitude Ski Resort Climb Road. It starts out at the lodge and switches back up the hill to the east. It is steep with a mainly old asphalt at the bottom and transitions to packed gravel in the middle and finally to loose gravel jeep road at the top. The road gets steeper and looser as it goes up, it is bad, then terrible, then worse. It is a major granny gear climb. Use this road to connect to Twin Lakes Pass, and all the other funner downhill trails accessible from the top of the Wasatch.

yoimaninja
Brutal but pretty much the only way to the top. Lot of hike-a-bike including the very last stretch to the lift.
QuantumIce
Bottom two miles are freshly paved, unfortunately the next two miles are where most of the vertical is. Expect it to start out mellow and smooth, and get steeper and looser the higher you go
UtahJohn
This is definitely 2 star, since it's not loose like Supreme. Supreme much more difficult.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
