Mountain Bike the Richards Hollow Trail
AdventureChallengingSummerYear-round
Navigate a technical descent through dense aspen groves and creek crossings for a quintessential Northern Utah riding experience.
Itinerary tips
- 1Plan for a 3-4 hour outing to account for the grueling 2,000-foot climb up Left Fork Logan Canyon before the descent.
- 2Pack a high-quality repair kit and extra tubes, as the sharp limestone rocks and remote terrain can easily cause mechanical failures.
- 3Stage a shuttle vehicle at the Richards Hollow trailhead on Right Fork Road to avoid a long, paved return trip on US-89.
- 4Bring at least 3 liters of water and electrolyte replacements, as the ascent is south-facing and heavily exposed to the sun.
- 5Check your brake pads before starting, as the descent features sustained steep sections and technical creek crossings that require precise control.
- 6Download offline maps or carry a GPS unit, because cell service is virtually non-existent once you enter the dense aspen groves of the hollow.
