This strenuous uphill ride climbs a dirt road through Pine Creek Canyon to crest the high ridges of the Wasatch Range. The road forks near the ridge leading into either Park City or Brighton Ski Resort. The seven-mile one-way climb to the summit makes for an exciting long downhill ride back to the bottom. The road is mostly gravel with some steep drop-offs and is rated as an intermediate ride. The fall colors are spectacular in this canyon and the access into Brighton and Park City make this a popular scenic drive; be cautious of motor vehicles traveling the road. Several side trails that may require some route-finding branch off the main road for more advanced bikers. To access Pine Creek Canyon, stay to the right past the park visitor center and travel northwest into the Canyon.

This 22,000 acre state park is loaded with miles of trails including both single-track trails and dirt road rides. Pine Creek Canyon and Snake Creek Canyon access miles of trails that are not well marked, but perfect for the more adventurous biker that doesn't mind a little exploring. Wasatch Mountain State Park has a large campground with modern facilities for overnight stays. Maps and information are available at the state park visitor center, located at the entrance to the park, just off Homestead Drive (435-654-1791).
