Fun rolling trail that follows the mountain contour. This is an older trail that is getting a bit narrow and rocky but still a fun ride, with great views of Heber Valley, Timpanogos and the Wasatch. On the easy side of "intermediate". Hot in the summer but dry earlier in the spring and latter in the fall.

Adaptive Bike Info
aMTB Blue Rating: Intermediate features and steeper terrain.

Narrow in many places. Some spots with exposure.

      Used to be called Upper Riverview. Still is on the trail map at the UVU entrance.

      The trail going up from the parking lot is a mess as they are building a new trail criss crossing the old trail, bunch of loose dirt, it'll be good but needs time
