 | Eagle Crest The Eagle Crest trail is 2.5 miles long, with around 350 feet of climbing when done east to west. It hugs the south slope of Traverse Mountain south of Draper. This page describes a loop ride using the other east-west trail (Ann's) on the north side of the mountain to make a loop. Some navigation skills are required to get through a mile of dirt roads between the east end of Eagle Crest and Ann's. The ride is intermediate in technical requirement and aerobic toughness. Trail conditions, alignment, and connections will change. Use this guide at your own risk. UtahMountainBiking 2016. |

stop sign. From Utah County, get on the Timpanogos Highway. At the Lehi-Highland border, go north on Highland Blvd at the big stop light east of Smiths. This will become Suncrest Drive as it enters Draper. Climb to the stop sign at the top of the hill.

Eagle Crest trailhead: From the hill-top stop sign above, go south on Traverse Ridge Road (straight from SLC, left turn from Utah Co). To to the end of the road and park. |
