Description: The 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!!!

Not just some of the best singletrack in Utah, but some of the best anywhere. You get killer climbs, fantastic scenery, tremendous variety, and rip-snortin' downhills. There is a whole network of trails so you can customize your ride to your liking. I prefer to startin the northern of the two canyons (Mill Creek), ride up the Big Water Trail, gain the ridge via the Great Western Trail, ride the ridge, descend the Desolation Trail, and swing back to Big Water via Dog Lake. 24 miles (or more, depending on how much out and back you do on the Crest) of singletrack bliss.

Go the Guardsman pass rout. Come down the wasatch crest mid mountain connector and their are no closed days. Take the mid mountain trail back to deer valley and you have yourself a supper long epic ride that is hard to beat.

Be careful some of the trails out here are only legal on odd days. This is a beautiful are with some great singletrack but not the best in Utah.
