| Five-mile Pass Race Loop Five-mile Pass is a popular 4-wheeler recreation area about 20 miles west of Lehi. Terrain is rolling rocky hills covered with sage brush and juniper, complete with dust, ruts, branching side roads, and loose rock. Five-mile Pass is the site of a popular springtime mountain bike race. The trail can be biked in early spring when even the lowest Wasatch foothill trails are locked in with snow. Length of the race course with one lap is 11.0 miles. Altitude change is 400 feet, but you'll roll up and down for total climbing of about 1000. |

 | Getting there:
From I-15, take the Lehi Main
Street exit. Turn west and drive through Lehi. After crossing the Jordan
River, you'll come to a traffic light in the middle of nowhere. This is
Redwood Road. Set your odometer, and continue straight on SR-73. 19.2
miles after the traffic light, you'll see dirt parking areas on both sides
of the road. Turn left. The broad dirt road heading southwest is the
beginning of the trail. GPS N 40° 14.179' W 112° 09.956' Copyright 2002 Mad Scientist Software Inc
