 | Hog Hollow Trail The Hog Hollow Road begins at the northwest corner of Alpine and climbs to Traverse Ridge, where you can look north over the Salt Lake Valley, and south over Utah Valley. It's a nice 4-mile climb (1000 vertical feet). A worthwhile, easy-technical hillclimb in the summer, this road becomes RAD for advanced off-season biking. While other trails are buried in the snow, Hog Hollow is a different ride every day: one day it's an easy cruise on hard-pack snow; the next it's a gooey mud slop-fest. One day it's a slush-digging fishtailing corn-snow ride; the next day it's a raging torrent of muddy water over hard ice ledges. At the top of the ridge, you can admire the view over the Salt Lake Valley to the north. |
