 | Big Spring Hollow Trail This loop is a short but sweet singletrack in the South Fork of Provo Canyon. At a fairly low altitude for an alpine trail (5700 feet), this trail opens in late spring for early-season riding. The loop ride is 3.5 miles of intermediate technical singletrack, with an altitude gain of 750 feet. Connects to Cascade Saddle trail and Windy Pass (Great Western) trail. |

 | Getting there:
In Provo Canyon, turn south (right if
you're going uphill) on the South Fork road at Vivian Park. Drive 3.1
miles and turn right at the National Forest access. Go 0.1 mile, turning
right into the big parking
lot at the end of the paved road. (If the gate on this road is closed,
park here and ride up the paved road.) The singletrack trail starts at
the hole in the fence at
the north end of the parking lot, west of the big picnic pavilion. GPS
