Features Views

Family Friendly Climbing turns and grades have been kept friendly enough for everyone to enjoy this climb, and the descending trail it accesses.

Description

This bike-optimized climbing trail winds its way up from the Tramway Trail to arrive at a high point where you'll find a bikes-only flow trail with expert level jumps and big sweeping berms. Ride-Around lines for most of the jumps keep the downhill accessible for most riders.

While most will use this trail for climbing, it's ok to ride back down, or simply hike up and down it to get great views of lower South Canyon.
