Corner Canyon Ride


When my mom went to drop off grandkids in Lehi, I came with her too.  I asked her if she wouldn't mind if I would take my bike and do a 2 hour ride afterwards.  She was glad to because she doesn't mind at all to sit in the car at the trailhead and just read and relax.  Luckily we found a parking space under a tree where there was shade.


Corner Canyon is near Draper, almost a few miles from Lehi, just near Point of the Mountain.  I've ridden on this trail system twice before but they were all I Cup races.  So, this was the first time I've ridden there just for a ride, not for racing, so I went where ever I wanted to go.


I started from Potato Trailhead and went eastbound on Ann's Trail and went down on the Rush Downhill flow trail.  I loved it.  After that, I went on a little bit of Canyon Hollow and Clark's then went westbound on the Bonneville Shoreline Trail a little bit.  Climbed up on Potato Hill Trail, passed the trailhead again and went on the west of Ann's Trail westbound and down towards BST and went eastbound up to Red Potato Trail and climbed back up to the trailhead.  


This Corner Canyon trail system is better than I thought.  I wouldn't be surprised if I ride up there again sometime soon.  It's great and not far from home(about 1.75 hours).  There are many different routes and trails to do and I think I know what to do next.  Most of all these trails are in the trees and is very shady.  The trails are super used up, and I was surprised there wasn't that many people on the trails when I went out there because I hear stories that this area can get crowded.  It's been fun!
