Singletrack Mountain Biking in Brianhead Region

WELCOME! If you arrived at this page directly, you may want to read the introductory page: Roger's Favorite Singletrack Mountain Bike Rides

Please realize that I am an older, strong, intermediate mountain biker with a passion for singletracks and am suggesting these trails to others such as myself. Please do not rely totally on my descriptions -- get maps and trail guides locally. Note that I live in California, but frequently ride in Utah.

Suggestions for minimizing trail damage:
-do not let your tires slide when climbing, descending, or turning.
-ride over water bars, not around them.
-avoid riding on wet trails.
-carry your bike over or around deep mud.
-ride under control so that you do not run off the edge of the trail.

Hendrickson Lake Loop

This is a combination of singletrack, doubletrack, and dirt road. The singletrack is both technical (rocky and narrow) and fast, and passes through a beautiful aspen forest. It is both scenic and fun (I LOVE flying down narrow singletracks between the trees)! A more primitive singletrack side loop is available for the technically advanced, adventurous, and physically hearty, taking off toward the south just east of Hendrickson Lake and returning up Dark Hollow Trail, with LOTS of tight switchbacks, rocks, steep downhills, and steep uphills. (Ridden 7/95)

The trails at Brianhead are maintained at no cost to users by the Brianhead Resort. Please thank them and/or buy something from them...

Resources

"The Mountain Biker's Guide to UTAH", written by Gregg Bromka and published by Menasha Ridge Press, is a GREAT guide to trails all over the state of Utah.

THANKS!
