Mountain Bike: Park City. Jared HargraveЧитать онлайн книгу.
Because of Park City’s elevation and mountainous terrain, bike season generally runs from late spring until mid-autumn. Some lower-elevation trails are rideable in early spring, while the highest trails don’t open until July. I’ve indicated the best time of year to ride each route, but that may vary based on the weather and snowpack of any given year.
MAP
Each route in this book includes a simple topographic map, but it’s always a good idea to supplement with other maps. Every year, Mountain Trails Foundation publishes an updated trail map of the entire Park City network; it’s the best map to bring on your ride if you want to link the routes in this book with other trails. The Adventure Maps Salt Lake City, Park City, and the Wasatch is another good resource. If you cannot find another resource, I’ve included the name of the USGS 7.5-minute TOPO maps that encompass each route.
GPS COORDINATES
The GPS coordinates listed in this category are for a route’s trailhead. Each coordinate is listed in degrees, minutes, and decimal seconds using the WGS84 datum (for example: 40˚36'24.65"N, 111˚33'17.95"W).
BEYOND THE ROUTE DATA
The Overview section describes the route and what you can expect. Getting There provides basic driving directions from a major intersection in the nearest town. The Mileage Log details every intersection and point of interest on the route. Options offers alternatives to the highlighted route.
Park City and the surrounding area are lousy with singletrack. There are over 400 miles of nonmotorized trails for mountain bikers to enjoy. If you look at a trail map, you’ll get heart palpitations trying to figure out what to ride. So in this book, I’ve highlighted what I consider to be the best rides within this massive, mind-boggling network. However, with so many cross trails and options, there is no limit to how these trails can be explored. I offer this guidebook as a starting point. Use it to learn the trails, then go out and discover your own favorite ways to ride the best mountain biking trail system in the world.
