Wardsworth Creek Trail

Wardsworth Creek is an excellent singletrack ride.  The further you go up the trail the more difficult it gets! The lower half is a nice wide singletrack with a few technical sections thrown in. Just past the steep climb and the waterfalls the ride really starts to get tough. It turns and heads northwards.  It truly becomes a narrow singletrack at this point! Watch out for the rocks and deadfall hiding in the overgrown weeds on the trail!!

How to get there: Take Exit 263 to Springville. Go east through town. Turn right on Canyon Drive (1300 East).  You will see signs for Hobble Creek Canyon. Go past the golf course, just past the golf course  you will come to a "Y" in the road, take the right side.  About 7 1/2 miles up the canyon the road turns to dirt, park here.  You will see trail head (gated) on the left hand side of the road.
