 | Josephite Point Trail -- Pete's Hole Loop
The Josephite Point trail is a remote singletrack on the eastern side of the Wasatch Plateau. It links two of the many lakes in the area, Pete's Hole on the north and Mary's Lake on the south. The singletrack itself is 7 miles in length, and can be done as an out-and-back, as a shuttled ride, or as a long loop ride called the Pete's Hole Loop. (Pete's Hole out-and-back to Josephite Point 9.2 miles, 500 feet climbing. Shuttled run from SR 29 to fishing parking 20 miles, 1700 feet climbing. Out-and-back from Pete's Hole Reservoir 13.9 miles, 2100 feet climbing. Out-and-back from SR 29 16.6 miles, 2500 feet climbing. Pete's Hole Loop 28.2 miles, 3300 feet climbing.) |

 | Getting there, via Price:
From the Wasatch Front take I-15 to
Spanish Fork, and turn onto US-6 eastbound. In Price, turn right
southbound on Highway 10. After 28 miles, turn right on SR 29 toward
Orangeville. Drive through Orangeville and stay on SR 29 up the canyon.
Follow the road around the north end of the lake. Shortly after it begins
climbing away from the lake, the paved portion of SR 29 ends. (The paved
road on the left descends to the lake and campground.) To do the big loop
ride, immediately park at the pullout on your right. For a shuttled ride
or the out-and-back rides, keep straight and climb SR 29 another 7.7 miles
to FR 005 to Pete's Hole on your left. Either start the ride there, or
drive the rougher narrow road 1.5 miles to Pete's Hole. Trail conditions, connections, and alignments will change. Use this guide at your own risk. Copyright 2015 UtahMountainBiking.com |
