And that IMBA thing? That's part of Park City's International Mountain Biking Association Gold-level Ride Center certification - but hit them while you can The Greatest Snow on Earth® owns these slopes for half the year. Many riders opt to access Mid Mountain from the newly built, uphill only, Armstrong Trail and link Mid Mountain with several other trails to make loops in the 5–10 mile range. Once on the trail, there are numerous short climbs and descents with very few technical sections, making it an ideal ride for intermediate riders looking for a spectacular experience. The trail's greatest difficulty lies in reaching the trail (it is called "Mid Mountain" for a reason). Flowing singletrack guides you through dense stands of pine and aspen trees before breaking out into meadows filled with wildflowers.

Mid Mountain covers 22 miles of trail traversing the two grand ski areas behind the town of Park City.

Of the 24 miles of established singletrack around Red Canyon, none compare to the Thunder Mountain Trail. Located just outside of Bryce Canyon National Park, the Thunder Mountain trail (Watch the video: Knobby Tired Nomads) has spectacular trails, challenging riding and thrilling vistas.

Oh, we should mention, riders on the Wasatch Crest have to negotiate a climb lovingly referred to as “puke hill” before reaching the main part of the crest. Other riders climb the steep grade from starting points in Park City or Big Cottonwood Canyon to access the start of the crest. There are many options for riding the trail, the most popular being a point to point (car shuttle required) from the top of Guardsman Pass along the Wasatch Crest before linking with trails in Millcreek Canyon (even numbered days only). Mostly flowing singletrack through aspen glades and alpine meadows with a single, easily walkable technical section, the trail doesn’t disappoint. The Wasatch Crest Trail is a thin ribbon of singletrack snaking along the top of the mountain range - so, yes, early winter storms and lingering spring snowpack can complicate your singletrack plans. The Wasatch Mountains just outside Salt Lake City divide the Salt Lake Valley from Park City and make a spectacular year-round playground for skiers, snowboarders, mountain bikers and rock climbers who flock to the area for the easy access, superb trails and stunning vistas.
