The DH trail at Mueller Park is open for riding in 2025. This one-way trail does not yet have a formal name, but is signed with the forest service segment numbers. It runs downhill from the intersection of the Mueller Park trail with the top of Peregrine at 6500 feet elevation. The DH ends when the route becomes the two-way Hornet trail at the bridge over Mill Creek.
In 2025, the trail has firmed up nicely over the winter, with early-season riders packing it into a hardened highway. So even though it's a new trail, the route is already "mature" with established well-packed riding lines.


The DH runs through mixed forest and is heavily shaded. At the top it's a mix of fir and mature maple, yielding to tall gambel oak and maple on the lower elevations.


From the Mueller Park trailhead, pedal up the paved road 1/10th mile. About 50 feet after you pass the Kenny Creek trail, turn left onto the BST Connector singletrack and climb 250 vertical feet through a series of turns. At mile 0.4 from the road, fork left uphill on Hornet. After 0.5 miles on Hornet, turn left at the next trail fork onto Maple Syrup. Ride another 1.4 miles then fork right onto Peregrine. Pedal 2.8 miles around Mill Canyon until you hit the Mueller Park trail. Cross over to descend the DH at mile 5.2 from the Mueller Park trailhead.

Cross the bridge at the Mueller Park trailhead and begin climbing. Cross the Bonneville Shoreline Trail at mile 1.3. At mile 3.3, you have the option of descending the lower DH by turning hard left downhill. (The Elephant Rock connector trail is straight ahead, and the do-not-enter DH is the trail on far right.) To keep climbing, turn to the right on the continuation of Mueller. At mile 4.2, veer to the right at the intersection to enter the DH.

Hitting the DH from North Canyon is more simple than you'd think. Just climb North Canyon up and over Rudy's Flat, 3.6 miles from the end of pavement, then descend 2.3 miles on Mueller to the top of the DH. At the bottom of the DH, take Hornet down to the BST Connector, but turn to the left (away from the Mueller trailhead). Cross over to the Bonneville Shoreline Trail and take it back to North Canyon.

If you're on your way down from Rudy's Flat, it's a hard left turn. The trail is marked with a carsonite post containing the trail number and its DH-only status.






Very nice and plush one-way route. Fun riding! The DH will attract a lot of riders to this already-popular biking destination. But it's not likely to attract the true gravity crowd because (1) you have to work to get to the top, and (2) it's a fairly non-technical flow trail without deliberate jumping features.

Mueller Park: On I-15, take the 2600 south Bountiful/Woods Cross exit. Go east towards the mountains. The road will turn north and be renamed Orchard Drive. While heading north, turn right (east) on 1800 south. This street takes you to the trailhead about 2 miles later, where you'll see parking places on the right side of the road. Go across the stream on the bridge to begin the ride up Mueller Park. To reach the BST Connector (with connections to Hornet, Maple Syrup, and Peregrine), pedal up the road into the park itself. Pass the Kenny Creek trail on your left, then take the next singletrack on your left.
North Canyon: On I-15, take the 2600 south Bountiful/Woods Cross exit. Go east towards the mountains. The road will turn north and be renamed Orchard Drive. While heading north, turn right (east) on 1800 south. Just as you reach the bottom of a steep hill, turn right at the intersection. (This is about 0.6 miles before the Mueller Park trailhead. If you arrive there, backtrack.) After 1.7 miles, turn left on Canyon Creek and go uphill 0.7 miles to the end of the pavement. Start your ride by heading east (uphill) on the dirt road.
