GET IT DONE AT THE BIRD!
Starting in the Gad Valley Gulch and heading up the dirt road to the Tram Plaza at Snowbird Center, this 5.1-mile course offers up approximately 570ft of climbing per lap. Using portions of the Peruvian Gulch Trail, Rothmans Way, and The Gad Valley Trail, this course offers a good mix of your typically awesome, high mountain, Utah singletrack interspersed with enough ski area service roads and doubletrack to allow for ample passing opportunities. It’s a course that’s going to challenge both your aerobic capabilities but with enough technical sections thrown in to keep you on your A-game for trail riding.
New for 2023, Gravel Categories. Same course, same time, but with drop bars!
