 | Wasatch Mountain State Park
This 4.8 mile ride hits the best of the trails in the visitor's center area. It is strenuous, with upper-intermediate skill requirement. There will be 1300 vertical feet of climbing, to a top altitude of 6750 feet. As of 2015, the Visitor's Center Loop trails are narrow, overgrown, and often rough -- reserve those trails for adventurous skilled riders. Trail connections, conditions, and alignments will change. Use this guide at your own risk. 2015 UtahMountainBiking.com |
