- Wasatch crest mountain bike trail is a super fun trail between Salt Lake City on the west and Heber / Park City on the East. You access Wasatch Crest by catching a shuttle to the top of Guardsman pass. Check out Big Rack Shuttles for a great ride up. Although there are many options for this trail, we took it (even days only) into Millcreek. The total miles ridden is 25 and the climb was 3000 feet. The descent was 7,756 feet and the total miles descended was 16. You can only imagine how fun this is until you hit it yourself.

Lower section after the Spine is awesome. Two weeks ago I ran into a mama and baby moose sitting smack dab in the middle of the trail near the little creeks. They wouldn’t budge and I had to hike around.
Wow, that's crazy haha. Glad you didn't get charged by the mama moose.
I remember riding the crest back in 2009 or so with my youngest son. At the top of puke hill was a helicopter. Some lady ate the beans on the trail! My son cleaned the high line on the spine but I struggled with it. Finally came down the lower section instead. I remember blasting down the trail about a mile from the parking lot where the trail had multiple water bars. A bumble bee hit me in the forehead and got wedged under my helmet. Of course I knocked it off just as I hit another water bar which turned my bar and put me in Superman mode! I didn’t get hurt but left me with those memories. Thanks for reminding me of some fun times when I lived in Utah!
Wow, sounds like one of those adventure rides you never forget! Thanks for watching!
This Channel is going to grow fast. You guys aren't playing around.This is Mountain biking right here. Great job as usual. 👍👍👍
Thanks!!
Oh man! You missed that connector. We rode it around the end of June and it was so fun!
Yea. Guess I gotta go back.
sweet trails.
Yea!
That is some real trail riding. That spot looks awesome.
Yea it's a fun one!
Just did Crest on Saturday morning after recent storms. It was my first time in 6 years, still the same 2012 130mm trail bike. It was prime. Did Wasatch Crest, Ridge Connector, then Mid Mountain to Red Bull, down Red Bull. Super fun ride, would do it again, despite being completely depleted of energy by the end.
Red bull is fun!
That looks like a great ride. That’s on my list for sure. Thanks!
Yup.
Gotta love the crest. Always a good time
Especially after rain!
I did the Crest loop from PCMR last week (Jenny's), then down into Canyons via Insurgent. It was a blast, but I was so tired by the time I got up puke hill the down hill definitely suffered. Not sure I'll do it like that again. It was my first time and it was an epic adventure. Shuttle seems by far the more fun way to do this.
Jealous of your dirt. That looked absolutely incredible.
I need to go down into pc,haven't done it yet. And that's a rad loop. Big climb! Good for you. Yeah, that dirt... Wow.
Oh man, that dirt. Amazing. I hit Kirkman that morning and dirt was so good! Wish I had the time to have done this with you guys that day. Bummer you didn't hit that new trail they built. Surprised you didn't know about it and they apparently don't have it marked well to direct people that way.
Yea. I just have to go back I guess.
Milcreek local here. Do you guys do any ride meet ups? Would definitely enjoy some experienced riders to bike with.
Hi Alex. We really haven't had any official rides, just now and then people reach out like you are. Hit me up on Facebook and we can ride sometime.
At 8:09 did you end up going left or right? Also how much did the shuttle cost?
I think that I went on the left. But they joined back together. It was $20 or something from big rack. It's going to be a while before it opens though haha.
You guys were cruisin’! How long did it take?
I think it was around 2 hrs moving time.
You didn't ride the new-ish Upper Pipeline trail (from the upper Millcreek parking lot down to Elbow Fork)? It's really good. Way better than riding the paved road.
Whattttt??? I'm going to have to go back. Where do you get on?
@@RideLabs right before you got the upper parking lot there's a left fork. I saw it in your video.
15:56
Agreed. Elbow Fork is way more fun going down than the road. Just not as fast! ;)
