This pair of mountain bike day trips from Summit Trailhead to Grove Creek Trail started from Salamander Flat dispersed camping in the Uinta Wasatch Cache National Forest and covered about 10 miles of the Great Western Trail southbound from the top of SR 92 Alpine Scenic Loop.
Our first ride included 17.3 miles and 4190 elevation change along this route:
Salamander Flat to Mill Canyon Spring to Timpooneke Road to Timpooneke-Chris Flat to Grove Creek Trail to Grove Creek Cut to Grove Creek Trail to Timpooneke Road to Timpooneke-Chris Flat Trail (Lower) to Timpooneke-Chris Flat to Timpooneke-Chris Flat (Campground) to Salamander Flat.
Our second ride included 3.1 miles and 853 elevation change along this route:
Salamander Flat to Snow Gauging to Horse Flat to Willow Hollow
It felt great to get back on the GWT and work further towards my project of biking and hiking the Utah portion of the GWT in sections. These rides complete the ~20-mile section of the GWT between the top of SR 92 Alpine Scenic Loop @ Summit Trailhead and Provo Canyon together with last week's day hike shown in this link:
