North Canyon Trail In the southeast corner of Bountiful, the North Canyon Trail climbs from the foothills to cool forests overlooking the Great Salt Lake. The ride is about 1/3 doubletrack, 2/3 singletrack. North Canyon starts at 5400 feet and climbs 1800 vertical feet to Rudy's Flat in exactly 4 miles. Some riders do this trail as an out-and-back (8 miles), others combine it with the nearby Mueller Park Trail as a 13.5 mile loop. |

Creek and go uphill 0.7 miles to the end of the pavement. Start your ride
