Mountain Biking Flying Dog
#68 of 710 mountain bike trails in Utah
Start at Glenwild and go up Stealth. After turning onto Flying Dog, you'll steadily climb. But soon the top will come, and the descent will begin. After descending the lower switchbacks of Flying Dog, you'll be able to continue on towards Bob's Basin if you want to.

At the I-80 Park City (Kimball Junction) exit, go north (left from the exit if you're coming from SLC) to the frontage road. Turn right. About 1/4 mile later at the second road on your left, turn left. Find the trail parking area just before the northbound road crosses the creek.
First time here and I was best from lots of riding. Followed my buddy up the climb and had a great view of the setting sun. Ripped down with lights blazing. Very dusty
| ThankGreat trail that is part of a great trail system around Park City. Tons of fun to go down with good flow and the occasional technical feature.
| ThankPretty mellow climbing from Spring Creek TH. Upper Flying Dog DH is a lot of fun, fast and tight singletrack in the trees. The remainder is pretty fun as well. Nothing technical throughout, just smooth singletrack. Fast way to crank out 17 miles.
| ThankWe rode it starting from Jeremy Ranch TH, going up 24-7 trail. This shortened the ride and got the "fun" ratio up. 24-7 has a few hundred yards of steeper starting out, but then mellows. We rode Flying Dog loop CCW, and had a blast. Quite smooth yet, nice climb, and very fun downhill.
| ThankThis is really one of the "must rides" in Park City. Moderate climbing (if you start in Jeremy Ranch) and great loop.
Pretty popular trail. The lower portion (24/7) tends to get busy with hikers and runners. That being said, use commin sens
| ThankExcellent descent (and the climb isn't too bad either). Transitions from scrub oak to Aspen glades and back again. Trail is named "Flying Dog" because a GPS trace of the trail looks like a jumping dogs with its ears being blown by the wind. :)
| ThankAwesome and pretty much endless possibilities off the trail for other loops variations. Intermediate.
| ThankBeautiful fun trail. A good mix of climbing and descent. Highly recommend. I don't love the route you have to take to get to this trail, but it is worth it.
| ThankInclude the Bob's Basin DH trails in the loop for added fun and making the ride 20+ miles. Middle chainring on almost all the climbs makes this ride quite enjoyable. Only drawback to the ride is how close it is to civilization.
| ThankGreat loop apprx. 17 miles. I would ride in the counter clockwise direction. Pretty good uphill with a great downhill.
