Jenni's Trail extends from the Park City Mountain Resort (PCMR) northern parking lot to the top of the Payday Lift. The trail is new in 2012. It's 5.1 miles in length, rising 1300 vertical feet from 6900 to 8200 feet elevation.




There are many different loop options southbound via Johns, Johns99, or Midmountain. Note that using Johns Trail turns the ride into advanced technical.


From the parking lot, look southwest at the notch between the condos and the little hill. (See 2nd photo above.) The trail will start just before and to the right of the ski lift. See the little trellis/scaffold thingy? That's where the trail starts. (2012. Things change.)


The next navigation hazard is at mile 2.7 near the top of the Alpine Slide. Loose Moose, Billy's Bypass, Flat Cable, and the ski lift connector trail get tangled up here. Take your first opportunity to turn hard right uphill. There's a trail sign at the intersection, but the direction to ride may not be obvious.At mile 3.4, keep straight as a faint ST (Loose Moose) comes in from the left.
1. Right uphill and RIGHT of the little building takes you to Steps or Midmountain.
2. Right uphill and LEFT of the building takes you to Midmountain.
3. Straight ahead then downhill takes you toward the Silver King Mine and Johns 99.
4. Veering slightly left, then up doubletrack on the right side of the hill takes you directly to Johns.
5. Across Drift Road to the singletrack -- 90 degrees to your left -- is the continuing final portion of Jenni's.


At the top of Jenni's singletrack, turn left on the lift road and head uphill 100 yards to the top of the Payday lift. Veer right and turn almost 180 degrees. Spot the broad trail just to the right of the small building. Coast downhill about 200 feet, then turn hard left onto Johns singletrack (mile 5.2).
Two turns later, the next fork at mile 6.5 is the 4:20 Trail. Go left. One more turn, and you'll hit a fork on a flat old road-grade at mile 6.6. This is your first loop option. Fork left. As you come out onto the ridge near Drift Road, keep right and flat at the singletrack trail fork. Follow Loose Moose westbound until it dumps you onto Jenni's. Turn right and head downhill toward home.




Ride up to the saddle at mile 4.7 as described above. Turn right, and go on the right side
of the little building. Climb uphill on a broad trail. Keep straight past the southbound Midmountain
Trail on your left. Fork right on northbound Midmountain at mile 4.9.
Stay on Midmountain to mile 7.8, then fork right downhill on Spiro. Stay on Spiro past Ham
and Eagle. As you near the bottom, fork right on Silver Spur at mile 10.8. Cross the lift road.
When you reach the resort, turn left downhill and head for the parking area.

In Park City, follow the signs to Park City Mountain Resort. As you see the first parking area, turn in and park there. Look to the southwest (toward the main resort. Pedal toward the spot where the parking lot meets the condos. As you reach a wire gate, the gravel doubletrack that heads uphill toward the Alpine Slide is the beginning of our ride.
