 | Getting there:
Take the Bluffdale exit from I-15 and turn
east towards the mountains on Highland Drive. Go straight past the railroad
underpass. Stay on Highland until you reach the parking area
for the Lynn Ballard ball park on your left. To find the trail, go to
the
west end of the parking area near the trail kiosk. Drop down the hill
and
turn left into the tunnel under the road. (Or go directly across the road
and find the ST climbing up the opposite side.) After climbing out of
the
tunnel, turn left and climb back up. The uphill trail is directly across
from the entrance into the parking area (GPS N 40° 30.351' W 111° 50.721').
To
reach the trailhead from the north (Sandy area), take 13th East southward
until it ends at
the stop sign just past the underpass. Turn left and drive 1/4 mile to the
ballpark parking. Trail conditions and alignments will change. Use this guide at your own risk. Copyright 2013 UtahMountainBiking.com |
