MOUNTAIN BIKING: Flume Trail

← UT DUCHESNE RIVER RANDLETT UT Single Tracks →

Description

The Flume Trail is roughly a 20 mile round-trip if done in its entirety. However, as multiple trailheads were developed for this trail rides of shorter lengths can easily be accomplished and the level of difficulty tailored to the riders desires. In general the trail consists of singletrack paralleling Dry Fork Creek in sagebrush, pine, and spruce/fir forests. Trail difficulty ranges from easy buff singletrack up to upper intermediate or advanced rock gardens that have claimed their fair share of blood. <br />
<br />
This is a great trail to get away from the heat of the desert during the summer or just when you are getting bored with the trails at McCoy.<br />
