 | Armstrong Trail
The Armstrong Trail shares a trailhead with Spiro, just north of Park City Mountain Resort (PCMR). This is an uphill-only trail. Commit to the full ride, or don't start uphill. The climbing is sustained but not steep -- most riders won't drop out of the middle chainring. Technically, it's pretty easy by Park City standards, suitable for strong advanced-beginners or conditioned intermediates. The Armstrong Trail is 4 miles long, with 1300 vertical feet elevation change. Top altitude is 8150 feet at the Midmountain Trail just below Iron Mountain. Because Armstrong is one-way, you need to add some trails to complete a ride. |

 | Getting there:
In Park City, follow the signs
to Park City Mountain Resort. As you see the first parking area, turn
in
and park there. Now ride your bike back out onto Silver King Drive,
heading west (uphill, toward the mountain, and the way you were heading
when you first saw the parking lot). Turn right onto Three Kings. The
next left will be Crescent Drive. The trail is
the singletrack next to the gravel road where Crescent Drive turns left.
