If you’re interested in a 3+ hour ride with some epic views of the Wasatch mountains, this is the ride you want. Capable riders will enjoy the long climb, challenging rock features, and flowy descents that cross the highest ridge in Park City and ends on an excellent flow trail. This ride includes the Wasatch Crest Trail, an IMBA Epic-designated ride.
A super fun shuttle ride that has you descend from one of the highest points in Park City down the backside of the Wasatch Range into Midway. This ride is peppered with fast singletrack, berms, small jumps, and one climb to keep you honest—making this one of the most fun rides in this book.
Starting on a wide dirt road leading to the climbing-only PorcUclimb trail, the first 1.8 miles of this ride are quite smooth and mellow. The side cuts are long and the turns are smooth and wide with lots of space. On the way down, there is a similar grade downhill, on the descending-only Downward Dog, back to the car. You may want to do this one twice!
