Little Cottonwood Canyon Pipeline

tiremark.gif (4100 bytes)

Little Cottonwood Canyon Pipeline is a great single track ride along side the beautiful Cottonwood Creek. If it where not for 2 or 3 rough, steep, rocky sections this would be a relatively easy ride. You will be tempted to try out your "Down Hilling" skills on the ride. But, please be careful and ride responsibly, this trail receives a lot of foot traffic (always yield the right-of-way).  And take care on the down hill, there are a lot of "little" jumps where the unaware might catch to much air and meet the ground before your bike!

How to get there: From I-215 take Exit 6 to Cottonwood Canyon Ski Areas. Travel south on Wasatch Boulevard. Just before the flashing billboard sign in the mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon turn right. There is a sign for the "Temple Quarry Nature Trail". Park here, the trail begins at the east end of the parking lot.
