Description

Added by Chris Engelsman

A fun loop at the base of the Utah Olympic Park!

The RTS trail at Utah's Olympic Park (ski jumping, bobsled, skeleton, and luge), is a fantastic beginner-to-intermediate trail. Since it's a short loop at only 2.6 miles and 366 feet of elevation gain, it's perfect for kids and beginners. Most of the sections are smooth dirt that winds through aspen groves and meadows. The lower trail has a few more rocks - just enough for beginners to test their skills!

The RTS Trailhead is on the right side of Olympic Parkway as you are driving up the road. From the trailhead, it seems like the natural way is to start pedaling up the trail to your left, but the preferred way to ride the RTS Trail loop is counter-clockwise to the right. You can also use the RTS trail to access other trails higher up on Utah Olympic Park or even Rob's Trail.

In the spring the colors are a vibrant green as everything comes to life and in the fall the aspens turn to glowing yellow.

Hike, Run, Bike Rob's Trail in Park City

Rob's Trail is a perennial favorite among Park City locals for year-round hiking, trail running, or mountain biking. The trail is primarily an out-and-back, but it if you go a bit further it can be combined with other trails to create a loop. The trail meanders through aspen and pine trees on the north side of the hill and is fairly wide in terms of a hiking trail. On hot summer days the trees ...

Hike Fantasy Ridge to Desolation Peak from Canyons Village

The easiest way to start this hiking only trail is to jump on the Red Pine Gondola at the Canyons Village of Park City Mountain Resort. If you have an Epic Pass, the lift is free. Otherwise, you'll need to buy a ticket to ride to the base of Red Pine Lodge. From the base of Red Pine Lodge (8,000 feet) head south past the Saddleback chair lift. Signs will lead you to the Tombstone trail. After ...

Hike Quarry Mountain in Park City

The Quarry Mountain trail is a less-traveled option than the Iron Mountain trail in Park City offering unique views of McPolin Farm to the west, Kimball Junction and Old Ranch Road to the north, Park City to the south, and Promontory Ranch to the East. The trail starts at the McPolin Farm parking area on the east side Highway 224 (the main road from I-80 to old town Park City) and ends at the t...

Mountain Bike the Genwild/Jeremy Ranch Trails

There are several places to access the trail system and several good places to park on both the Jeremy Ranch side and the Glenwild side. One of my favorite options is to park at the end of Jeremy Road and then take the 24-7 trail into the action. This is also a good way to access the Flying Dog trail. Because of its south faces and lower elevation, this network is a great for early or late seas...

Run the Historic Park City Union Pacific Rail Trail

The Park City Rail Trail is a fantastic trail for walks, running, and biking in the spring, summer, and fall. During the winter it's groomed so you can Nordic ski, fat bike, run or walk. Park City's historic Union Pacific Rail Trail has been paved from Bonanza Drive in Park City all the way out to Highway 248 - a distance of 3-miles. Since it's an old railway line, it's primarily flat with onl...
