When you've got trails, why road bike?

Park City Bike Resort



Deer Valley Bike Resort

The Canyons

There are 540 miles worth of trails in the Park City area. My favorite place. I have biked on every single trail in Park City and Deer Valley Resorts in the past 10 years. I haven't done the Midmountain Trail and The Canyons yet. Park City has great singletrack trails that are everywhere and it's all shady in most places. Lots of pine trees and aspens. And at 7,000 feet or higher, it never gets hot in the middle of the summer. I love the scenery and it is not bike crazy on the crowds like Moab. I went today and only a few people were there. Like 10 or so I have seen. I am planning to go there a lot more this summer and especially do the 30 mile Midmountain Trail that goes over Park City and The Canyons resorts, I can't wait to do that one. There are some good singletrack trails I like down here where I live like the Maple Syrup Trail, Pioneer Trail, and Flume Trail. They are great trails. Well, why bother on road riding when you got trails? Road riding? Too boring. Mountain Biking? Too fun.

Park City or Bust: Mountain Bike Heaven!

Today, I went biking up in Park City Resort to have some mountain bike fun. After a year, I finally get to go again! Singletrack trails everywhere. At first, I climbed on The Spiro Trail and kept going up to Shadow Lake at the top where the snow was at about 9,400 feet. It was a good hour climb and rested at Shadow Lake in Jupiter Bowl and then continued on The Keystone Trail which was level. Then after that, I went down the Steps Trail and the weaving John's Trail. It was super fun! I'd do it again! It was the total of 14 singletrack miles. Later at the end of the month, I will go up there again and do it again and go higher. Also later this summer, I am planning to do the Midmountain Trail that goes from Park City Resort to The Canyons Resort which is 30 miles total, that would be an epic ride for me. I would go do Deer Valley again sometime again but I am scared of all the downhillers there. Maybe I will go there again and be careful and watch for downhillers, go in the morning or something. Deer Valley is great too. Well, it was a great fun trip! You know how excited Tony gets about Moab and loves it so much? It is the same thing for me when I go to Park City. Work sucks, I'm going to Park City!
