Rush
Bike Flow Trail
The Rush Trail is a one-way mountain bike route in Draper's Corner Canyon. It starts on Traverse Ridge and descends to the Silica Pit. Rush features tight turns and occasional short climbs, descending at 250 feet per mile. Although its direction is downhill and it offers some jumps and stunts, it is not a classic "DH trail." Rush is 3.5 miles in length, descending 1100 vertical from an altitude of 5900 feet at the Peak View trailhead on Traverse Ridge. |

Lower Corner Canyon Trailhead (Equestrian Center): Take the Bluffdale exit from I-15 and turn east towards the mountains. Continue on Highland Drive until you reach the ballpark parking lot. Directly across the street from the parking, the Lower Corner Canyon trail heads uphill (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, then turn left into the paved parking area. Start riding by going under the street and keeping left on the Corner Canyon Trail. |
