Bells Canyon
Bells Canyon does not see much Mountain Bike
traffic, and for good reason! It starts out very steep and with a loose
gravel trail base, it makes for a tough climb on a bike. There are
steps that are all but impossible to ride up (or down). After reaching
the very scenic Lower Bells Canyon Reservoir the trail is much better!
It turns to a fun single track through the trees. After crossing
the stream above the Reservoir the trail becomes snarled with large granite
boulders and is tough for even a hiker to negotiate.
How to get there: The trailhead is located at 10400 South and Wasatch Blvd. Parking is on the east side of Wasatch Blvd and is well marked.
