Happy Friday and Happy Fall Park City! Your weekend trail update for this first weekend of the best season of the year, Sept 23rd-25th...

The leaves are popping, the dirt is heroic, and the temps are perfect; upper 60's to low 70's, with nary a cloud in the sky. It doesn't get any better than this!

The only trail impacts other than the ongoing at the UOP(Moosepuddle, Yeti's, Olympic) and Mayflower(Spin Cycle), will be intermittent closures on the McCleod Creek trail while Rocky Mtn Power replaces power poles.

We're excited to announce that the new Clark Ranch loop, tentatively named Sparky or Sparky's,(think Clark Griswold/National Lampoon's Vacation) is complete and open to the public.

This 3.5 mile-long-trail is directional, COUNTERCLOCKWISE for bikes, multi-directional for foot-traffic. Because of the agricultural nature of the conservation easement(cattle/sheep grazing), dogs are unfortunately NOT permitted. eMTB's are permitted, however. The descending section is still a little loose so ride with caution. We'll also be grooming this one for fat biking in the winter months, so look forward to that.

The team spent a good bit of time working on signage this week as well as finish work on the Big Easy loop. We've also got the excavator back on the Lynx trail at PC Heights, and we hope to complete that project in the next week or two. This will provide a connection from lower PC Heights, near the Rail Trail, up to Skid Row/Lost Prospector.

It's beaUtahful day out there, so quit looking at social media and get your butts out on the trails!!! #trailreport

Happy Friday Park City! Gargoyle, hero dirt and brown POW for all my friends...your weekend trail update for September 16th-18th...

The temps are dropping, the leaves are starting to turn and it's beginning to feel a little bit like fall along the Wasatch Back. And as we locals know, fall is THE best time of year for trail shenanigans.

We've picked up some much-needed moisture over the past few days and there's still a slight chance of precip today and tomorrow, so pack the Gortex if venturing out.

Conditions may be a little greasy to start out the day, after last night's thunder-boomer, but should improve as the day progresses. In fact, as it looks right now, this afternoon should be stellar and the weekend's looking primo with temps in the upper 60's to low 70's.

We hope y'all had as much fun at the Tour Des Suds as we did. It's such a classic, locals event, and we're stoked to be able to carry on the tradition that started nearly 40 years ago. Feel free to post some of your fav TDS pics from the day.

The MTF crew is putting the finishing touches on three, new, trail projects to round out the season, so stay tuned for more details...

Have a trailriffic weekend out there! #trailreport

Good morning Park City! The Soggy Bottom Boys are at it again and mud season, fall addition, has returned. Park City experienced some heavy rain late yesterday and overnight, with a solid chance of more precip over the next few days.

That said, trail conditions are NOT conducive to use on most of our local trails. Please respect all closures and stick to the paved or wide, soft-surface trails until we dry out a bit. We'll do our best to stay on top of conditions, but it's ultimately up to YOU, the trail user, to excercise good judgement out there, and turn around if it's sticking to heels, wheels or paws.

Thanks ahead of time for protecting our local play-dirt! #trailreport
