Mountain Biking Near Salt Lake City
On Saturday I hooked up with bros, Ron Mason and Topher Blair, to enjoy a nice wet trail ride. Although it did rain on us a little, most of the trails were in good shape. And it was a real pleasure to experience Utah mountain biking in these lush & humid conditions.
Topher cruisin’ through the wasatch rain forest.
Ron gaining the ridge. Nice and cool up here, pretty flowers too.
Hauling ass back down to road. A super fun ride that is a solid workout too. Tophers altimeter thing claimed 4000′ overall of climbing and around 20 miles. We started at the at the Mnt Dell golf course on U65, rode on the road to the Mormon Trail at the state park, which we rode to the top of Big Mountain Pass, then we took the Great Western Trail back towards Parleys Summit and down the gas line trail. Moose Creek is another option down to U65 (a more technical DH trail). Here is a great resource for mountain bike trails in utah. and don’t forget to check out ‘huck n roll’ for all your mountain bike gear needs.

Twas good… I remember the Moose Creek DH now…shortens the ride by 2 or 3 miles but great fun. If we get consistent let’s check it out.
