 | Riverview Trail Front-side Loop The Riverview (or Sorenson) Trail is located on the mountainside northeast of Heber at an average altitude of 6200 feet. It's 5.2 miles in length and is best done as a 10.4 mile out-and-back. This ride will have a total 600 feet of gradual up-and-down climbing. A loop ride is possible using Sheep Bones singletrack and the Lower Riverside Trail, a doubletrack just above the irrigation canal. A shorter loop is possible by dropping down to the dirt road via a descending trail at mile 3.3 (if starting from the northern end). The descending trail is 1.2 miles. |
