Big Springs Mountain Biking- Provo Utah
Mountain biking has always been a very big hobby of
mine. This past summer I was able to
bike up South Fork Canyon in Provo Canyon and bike the beautiful Big Springs
Trail (Go to South Fork Rd). We started biking at the Big Springs
Trailhead.
This part of the bike ride is
almost all uphill and can be very strenuous.
However, the downhill and the scenery that you will encounter will be
well worth the strain. I ride a Kona
Coiler Delux bike. It isn’t the lightest
bike, but it gets the job done.
As you weave your way over a few
small streams and cross some man-made wooden bridges, you will see some
incredible open fields and thick foliage.
If you go during the fall time, you will be amazed by the color and magnificence
of the leaves.
After biking for about 25 mins,
you’ll come to a gravel road where you can either follow the road, or continue
the trail. They will both take you to
the Big Springs base camp where you’ll find a small water fountain, streams and
an open field to rest. This is where you
only have about 15 more minutes of uphill and then you get to experience the
wind in your face from the downhill thrill.
I have included some biking
pictures to show you how beautiful it is.
Make sure to try it out!
