TTFs on TrailBerm, Rock Garden
The upper extension further extends the WOW trail as it makes its way from the Wasatch State parking lot. It’s beautiful and meandering upper elevation section has a slight climb to it and mostly chill except for just a couple playful moves.

Very nice trail. Meanders through aspen and flowers with nice vistas of the Heber Valley below and the Wasatch Rim above. Rideable either direction. The fact that the upper third of the ride includes a 1000ft climb will keep the shuttle monkeys away.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
