Here's some more pictures of the new trail one of the Gordon boys built just last year. This trail starts from the hydroplant at the mouth of Ephraim Canyon and it's singletrack all the way to New Canyon Road then you can ride on New Canyon road for a while, fork right, go a little more, fork right again, then cross a bridge across the crazy screaming river then go on singletrack again 'til the A-frame house below Badger Mountain Rope Course and above Taylor's Flat. This is a good climbing trail to get to the top of the Flume Trail instead of riding on the canyon road. You can go down the Flume Trail or keep climbing on the canyon road until Willow Creek or Lake Hill for more downhill fun trails that connect to the Flume Trail. This new trail is not much known because most people around here is used to shuttling up the canyon road and just ride down the Lake Hill/Willow Creek/Pioneer/Flume trails on their bikes. But most XC riders around here like to ride up this new uphill climb trail for a good workout. There's not much trail right now but that's what the Flume and other trails looked like when they started out and were barely built. So, I am hoping maybe in 3 or 4 years from now this trail will be all packed down really good and also more people would know more about it. Then we could get Ed Chauner(Intermountain Cup Race Director) over here and try it out to make this trail an official race trail for one of the Intermountain Cup Races. He was going to come last year but I don't think he came. I'll need to ask Durke. Durke also made a new trail from the bottom of the Flume to the hydroplant connecting to the uphill trail to make it a lap race.
