Richfield Race Loop
The Richfield Race trail is a five-mile loop on a bench area above Glenwood, about 6 miles east of Richfield. The riding is easier-intermediate, with brief mild climbs and fast descents. Climbing is minimal. There are some nice views and the trail is fun to ride. The riding season is late April through November. There's some clay that will get sticky after heavy rains. There's no shade on the trail, so it will be hot on summer afternoons. Trail conditions, connections, and alignments will change. Use this guide at your own risk.

Getting there:
On Main Street in Richfield, turn east on 300 North. This is Utah Highway 118, old US Highway 89. After 0.9 miles, Highway 118 turns north. Keep straight to the single lane that becomes Highway 119. Continue straight east and in about 4 miles the road will veer a bit right and climb up the hill. At mile 6.4, begin watching for a gravel road on your left. It will be just before the Glenwood Hills OHV sign. Turn left and drive 0.8 miles. Turn right toward the fenced area and park outside the gate.
