Mountain Resorts Offer Great Biking, Wildflowers

Now that the snow is gone and the trails have dried out at Utah’s ski resorts, lift-served mountain biking has taken center stage. You ride the lift to the top of the mountain – none of that heavy uphill peddling – then enjoy the downhill run on a trail chosen to match your experience and desire for adventure (options range from mild to extreme). When you reach the bottom you jump on the lift and do it all again.

It’s all downhill!

When you want a break from riding you can enjoy the rest of the amenities offered by fine resorts: a hot tub, massage, restaurants, nightlife and posh accommodations.

Seven of Utah’s 13 resorts are open to mountain bikers. This article has details.
