The Bobsled Trail is a famous, fast-paced biking trail that will keep your heart racing and send you flying over your handlebars if you're not vigilant. It extends from the Bonneville Shoreline Trail.
This old creekbed trail has many twists and turns with major bank turns around every corner. It is explicitly a downhill trail so don't even try to go uphill. There are so many jumps that can get your bike some incredible air!
Bobsled Trail is a super fast, technical biking trail that should only be attempted by more advanced mountain bikers.
Trail: about 1.6 miles
More Information
Never modify trail features. Ride trails when they're dry enough that you won't leave ruts. Speak up when you see others on the trail and always yield to hikers, horses, and others coming uphill. Always ride on the established trail.
