 | UOP Bobsled Loop The Utah Olympic Park Bobsled Loop is located west of the UOP bobsled track, a few miles north of Park City. It's a highly scenic ride. But like most Park City biking, you'll be climbing a mountain. There's no fee to ride the trails on UOP property. The trail can be done as a stand-alone loop, or as part of a longer ride using other Olympic Park trails . The loop is 6.4 miles with 1200 feet of elevation change. Trail conditions, alignments, and connections will change. Use this guide at your own risk. UtahMountainBiking.com 2016. |

 | Getting there: RTS Trailhead: From I-80, take the Park City Kimball Junction exit. Turn south toward Park City. 0.4 miles from the freeway, turn right on the Olympic Parkway. At the roundabout, go 3/4 around (effectively a left turn) to head south on Olympic Parkway. The road will begin climbing. At one mile from I-80, turn right into a gravel parking area. The RTS loop is just inside the break in the fence. Olympic Parkway lower parking: Note! The Olympic Park is closed at night and the gates will be locked. Check the closing time to be sure you'll be finished or your car may be locked inside! Keep on Olympic Parkway past the Olympic Park. As the road leaves the developed area, you'll see a parking strip on the right side of the road, just before the road turns sharply left. Park here. The north end of the trail is at the apex of the turn. The south side of the trail is 0.2 mile uphill on the right side of the road. Bobsled facility: Continue uphill to the top and park near the bobsled building. The trail is immediately west of the top of the facility. Bear Hollow: Turn off Highway 224 on Bear Hollow Drive. Go uphill past Rob's Trail. Go to the UOP gate and turn around. Head downhill to a wide spots on the west side of the road to park (no parking in the circle below the gate). Go through the bicycle entrance on the left side of the gate, then follow the pavement left above the bobsled facility to the trail. |
