Things to know before you go
Most of the trailheads have some parking, but it is limited. Luckily, we have free transportation in Park City, and we recommend that you utilize a Park n’ Ride lot to help reduce traffic and parking issues at the trails. If you plan to drive and park, check out our live parking cams before you choose your trail area.

Please clean up after yourself and your pets. Travel on marked trails durable surfaces. Dispose of waste properly.
Speed is the biggest factor in trail incidents. Slow down, smile and give space to other users.
Skidding corners permanently damages trails. Instead, slow down earlier and coast through the turn.
Bells on trails keep everyone safe. Use and listen for them while you are on the trails. Pick up a freebie at a local shop or pick up a membership gift from Mountain Trails.
Consider using the marked winter singletrack when biking, snowshoeing or hiking. Winter singletrack is a lot more fun and using it will help preserve the groomed trails for other users.
Dark spots accelerate melting. Help reduce melting by removing debris from trails and avoid tracking mud onto the snow.
Please do not ride (fat bikes and mountain bikes) if you are leaving a rut. If snow or dirt is too wet or soft to ride a straight line, then turn around. Tires can leave ruts that ruin groomed trails for other users. Ruts lead to erosion and costly trail repairs.
Do not feed or harass wildlife. Leash dogs immediately upon wildlife encounter and keep your distance.
If you are breaking through the trail surface leaving a rut, losing traction and are unable to ride in a straight line, please reduce your air pressure.
2-5 PSI is a good range for SOFT GROOMED SURACE AND BASE.
4-8 PSI is a good range for HARD-PACKED SURFACE AND BASE.
Leash dogs immediately upon wildlife encounter and keep your distance. Do not let your pet chase or play with wildlife.
Be aware and in control of where your dog is and who they are approaching at all times. Not all dogs respond the same to other dogs.
Always place dogs on leash immediately upon arriving at trailhead parking lots. That way excited pooches never get the chance to harass others, get hit by a car or sneak in a bathroom break while owners are distracted.
