Wasatch Crest
Wasatch Crest Trail (GWT) is probably one of the best, if not the very
best, singletrack trail in Utah! I prefer to do this ride as an
out and back, starting at Millcreek Canyon's Big Water Trailhead! You
can start at the top of Scotts Pass, but you won't get the full effect
of the ride!! You can also start at the Mill D North Fork trail
up to Lake Desolation. Take extreme care when crossing the "Spine"
above Lake Desolation, it is best just to get off and walk the short section!
You'll see what I mean when you get there!!!
How to get there: From I-215 take Exit 3 (3900 South). Turn north on Wasatch Boulevard to 3800 South. Turn east at the Mill Creek Canyon sign. The road ends 9 miles up the canyon at the Big Water Trailhead. Mill Creek Canyon is a FEE area. Be prepared to pay $ 2.25 per car ( in 1999). This is collected when leaving the canyon. Before you bitch about having to pay...try the trails first! They have done an incredible job with your money. This ride is worth a whole lot more then $ 2.25 !!
ATTENTION
Upper Mill Creek Canyon is CLOSED to Mountain Biking on ODD-NUMBERED calendar days!! YES, this means YOU!!!
This canyon has some of the best riding along the Wasatch Front. But if we don't respect the rules, it will be closed to us.
