Park City Town Loop
The Park City Town Loop is a dang good ride. There's 7 miles on dirt, of which 5 is high-quality forested singletrack. This loop links the Sweeney Switchbacks, John's, and Gravedigger trails for a nice taste of Park City riding without spending all day. It's intermediate with a few slightly technical spots, climbing 1200 feet. The ride begins at 7000 feet on Lowell Avenue, via a short doubletrack that takes you to the nicely-buff North Sweeney Switchbacks.
