This ride is truly an epic ride and should be ridden by all before you check out. Be sure to ride with the best of friends and there will be only good vibes to be remembered. The trail is pure riding nirvana as the trail has a fine mixture of technical, bombing runs and mellow beautiful cross country riding. Bring a camera as the views are awesome to take in. After the ride, go to Park City as there is a strip mall area with a killer Mexican restaurant called El Chubasco. The combination of the ride with a killer mondo burrito and a variety of at least 10 types of salsas will surely satisfy.
