Bunchgrass Trail
(White Pine Lake) The Bunchgrass Trail starts at Tony Grove Lake in Logan Canyon. This very pretty singletrack trail is 11.2 miles long (if you do the little loop at White Pine Lake). There's a moderate amount of climbing on the dirt, around 1000 total. The descent is 2500 from a peak altitude of 8800 feet. With the shuttle option, it's suitable for intermediate riders, although some might struggle on the rocky areas. Expert riders will hammer this one and love it. The ride offers miles and miles of not-too-technical high-speed downhill singletrack. The ride can be done as a shuttle by leaving a car at the bottom of the Tony Grove road, or as a 19-mile loop by riding the bike up the 7-mile paved road to the lake. |
