Downhiller Summary: I ride 3-4 times a week and Southfork is one of my favorites. All you pansies complaning about the uphill obviously never ride! This trial is an easy gradual climb till you get about 1/2 mile past the camp. Don't turn and go back down at Big Springs unless you are looking for a quick ride. Continue up torwards cascade saddle for another mile or so. There are a few technical climbs and coming down is fun. This provides a fast downhill. There are lot of Novice riders on this trail...remember to yeild! Recommended Route: Ride up the trial and yield! Watch for hiking zoobies. Other recommended trails in the same area: Ridge, Sundance, Great Western, Squaw Peak, Alpine

Downhiller Summary: This is one of my favorite trails in this area. However, I feel that if we could all agree to ride UP the road and DOWN the trail, there would be fewer stops on the downhill stretch--making for a much more enjoyable ride. If you are looking for a better work out, (read: you want to ride up the trail because it is more of a challenge) you could always ride the loop 2 or 3 times. Recommended Route: Ride up the road, and down the trail. On the downhill just after Big Springs, take the right turn; it is a better ride downhill. Other recommended trails in the same area: Squaw peak above Eagle Ranch, Provo raceway, Hobble Creek

, from Orem, Ut Summary: This trailis great, a real gem, close, fast and a climb that'll burn the lungs. Most people turn back when it gets really steep after the upper two bridges/boardwalk (past the scout camp through the trees on the right), I say keep on going! Stay on the trail, don't bum out and do the fireroad. The payoff is a much better workout and some pretty sweet views of the back side of the Cascade Range. You roll along in granny gear most all the uphill, there is moderate traffic, and some great opportunities to exercise good trail ettiquite--just remember to yield on the downhill to everyone coming uphill o the way back. The back bowl that opens up after the long and increasingly technical uphill is worth it, as are the jumps off the downhill sides of the bridges. The meadow is a burner too--scream douwn it and don't burn out the corner back into the trees. Ride with some Soul and enjoy!
Recommended Route: Directions provided on primary post Other recommended trails in the same area: Any Boneville shoreline Segments, Timpanookie to Dry Canyon, Shingle Creek

, from SLC Summary: This trail is fun for a quickie. It only takes 45 min or less if you go to the springs, plus the down hill (although not technical) is fast and pretty fun. I give it a 4 because it's not epic but it will contain your addiction until you have time for something awsome, plus it's really close to town. Recommended Route: Go straight up the single track, it makes the climb alot more fun. Other recommended trails in the same area: race track

, from provo ut Summary: I have been up the trails a couple of times hoping to find the pristine trail people rant and rave about. All I have found is myself climbing endlessly up and up and up singletrack that is pretty well maintained. I have found the girls camp, without seeing much, even some trail markers and signs pointing to the pass but I always become discouraged with pushing and pulling and climbing up so long. The down hill only takes about five minutes and it is over, don't let others decieve you if you like to climb do it if you like down hill find another trail. Recommended Route: take any trail that seems suitable Other recommended trails in the same area: bonneville shoreline trail from squaw peak
