Wakara

For the trails I've ridden in south Utah Valley, this is THE best (IMO) if you are looking for an XC style trail and a place to train for that sort of racing or riding (it even has "time trial" signs along the way so you don't get confused with the menagerie of trials here). There are ups and downs, a couple short, steep climbs and downhills in a big loop with plenty of sometimes tight turns (some are nicely bermed). There are (at least right now), no jumps, drops, or any of that BMX style bike park stuff on the trail. If you like classic XC style trails, this one tops any here, or in Spanish Fork, or in Santaquin. I wish there were more trails like this around here to train for XC rather than all the bike park and downhill type trails everyone seems to like so much. This is my new favorite trail in the local south county maintained MTB trail systems. Let's get something like this in Spanish Fork!

Does this trail legally have equestrian use? I see damage form this on trail reports

Tight turns kill the flow, but it’s a nice easy to intermediate trail. Roots are coming up in a lot of areas on the trail so don’t catch a pedal or tire. Nice views of the Forebay area.
