Park City's trail network ranks among the most extensive and accessible in North America. The designation as an IMBA Gold-Level Ride Center reflects both trail quality and the variety of terrain available to riders of all abilities. Whether you prefer cross-country endurance rides or lift-served descents, the 400+ miles network will accommodate your skill level, endurance, and style.
Cross-Country Classics
Mid-Mountain Trail traverses the mountainside connecting Park City Mountain Resort to Deer Valley, offering sustained singletrack with consistent grades and sweeping views. The trail works well in either direction and links to numerous other routes for extended rides, loops, and connections.
Round Valley provides accessible loops on flowy trails closer to town. The network suits riders seeking quality singletrack without significant elevation gain or technical challenges.
What to look for: Mountain trail reports, as spring runoff, weather. and afternoon thunderstorms affect riding conditions.
Local Insight: Start rides early—afternoon thunderstorms hit sporadically throughout the summer months. Carry rain gear regardless of the morning forecast.

Technical Terrain
Masonic Trail challenges experienced riders with rocky sections and technical features. The trail weaves through dense forested areas and really tight places. There are very tight turns while travelling uphill and can be difficult to climb. However, the ridgeline terrain is spectacular.
Black Forest Loop combines multiple technical trails into one ride that starts and ends in town. This trail features rocky bits, endless roots and punchy fall line climbs.
What to ask about: Shuttle services for point-to-point rides that would otherwise require significant road cycling to complete loops.
Lift-Served Downhill
Park City Mountain Resort operates lift-served mountain biking with trails designed for gravity-focused riding. The bike park includes features for various skill levels, from beginner flow trails to advanced jump lines. Bike rentals, including downhill-specific equipment, are available at the base area.
Deer Valley Resort allows riders to access mountain trails via two chairlifts: Silver Lake Express and Homestake Express. The resort offers bike rentals that include a helmet and protective gear.
Local Insight: Many Deer Valley and Park City trails connect seamlessly through the town’s expansive singletrack system, offering a variety of options for different skill and fitness levels.
Trail Resources
Mountain Trails Foundation maintains the non-resort trail system and provides current conditions, maps, and volunteer opportunities. Their work keeps this remarkable resource accessible and well-maintained.
What to ask about: Guided rides for visitors unfamiliar with the system—local bike shops often coordinate group outings.
