 | Little South Fork Trail This singletrack trail along the Little South Fork of the Provo River is 8.7 miles, upper-intermediate to advanced technical. The trailhead is at 7200 feet, with 2700 feet to the ridgeline. The trail is hard to navigate uphill and it's a pretty mean climb. If you're going the loop or out-and-back option, it's very strenuous aerobic. Point-to-point from the ridge above Mill Hollow to the highway near the river (using a shuttle vehicle), it's 9.5 miles. As a loop using U-35, Mill Hollow road, then Campbell Hollow road, it's 23 miles -- 14 on tedious road -- but easier to navigate downhill. |
