Description

Pinecone is the transition from the aspen and pine forests to high alpine tundra.

The route is a steady pedal up with views that open up the higher you go. The last couple of miles is a grind for the most part, except for the very last bit that mellows out before Wasatch Crest.

The ride description is based on an uphill approach. We rode up past shadow lake and down Pinecone. Our first ride was on a Sunday and we met several uphill riders which impacted the flow but was still a great ride. Our second ride was earlier on a Friday morning, the day after a moderate rain, and the dirt was amazing. We only met 5 uphill riders and the speed and flow of the decent was great! This is a great intermediate trail. Jul 14, 2014

No idea why you would ride up this. It has some of the best downhill flow in all of Park City. Take Scotties/Puke Hill to the top or climb up via Shadow Lake to Puke Hill and enjoy one of the best flow trails in the area. Oct 12, 2016
