 | Pine Cone Ridge - Ironman Loop from Mill
Creek Canyon
The Pine Cone Ridge trail is an immediate game-changer for higher-altitude Park City riding. It creates a new and simple route from the Midmountain Trail to the southeastern end of the Wasatch Crest Trail . Pine Cone Ridge starts on the Midmountain Trail, 0.6 miles south of the junction with the Armstrong Trail and 1.2 miles south of the junction with Spiro . The loop from Mill Creek is a long and tough ride with 4300 vertical feet of climbing over 30 miles. (NOTE: Mill Creek is open to bikes only on even-numbered days!) |
