IMBA World Summit 2008

Oh don't worry. There will be lots of riding.

As a model trails community, Park City is home to downhill, freeride, cross country, jump park and path riding options and we'll make sure you have plenty of time to explore all that the has to offer. Join one of the guided rides or hit the trail or the park on your own.

Saturday, June 21 will feature our big IMBA Epic ride - the Mid Mountain Trail. Join us on this classic Wasatch singletrack, which features lots of climbing, descending and ridge-top riding through aspen and pine forests. You will encounter truly extraordinary views of the area as you make your way around the Mid Mountain loop. Both intermediate and advanced riders will find this trail challenging and exciting. It offers amazing views and lots of high-altitude climbing. As a bonus, summer brings beautiful wildflowers.

IMBA's host club, the Mountain Trails Foundation, is a model of shared-use leadership, with non-motorized groups coming together to create amazing trails and maybe more important, a tight-knit trails community. Mountain Trails is also a great resource for trail maps and other information.

The Park City and Salt Lake City mountain biking communities will lead daily afternoon guided rides.
