Mountain Bike the Wasatch Crest Trail

Itinerary tips

• 1Book a point-to-point shuttle from Park City or Millcreek to Guardsman Pass to avoid a grueling climb and maximize your downhill miles.
• 2Pack a high-quality windbreaker and extra layers, as temperatures at the 10,000-foot summit are significantly colder than in the valley.
• 3Carry at least 2-3 liters of water and electrolyte snacks, as there are no refill stations along this remote high-alpine ridge.
• 4Plan for a 3-5 hour ride depending on your fitness level and the specific descent route you choose into either Millcreek Canyon or Park City.
• 5Check the 'even/odd' calendar rules if you plan to descend via Millcreek Canyon, as mountain bikes are only allowed on trails there on even-numbered days.
• 6Download offline maps via Trailforks or MTB Project, as cell service is spotty once you drop off the main ridge line.
