Chopped Coyote Loop

The Coyote Canyon Loop lies northeast of Heber. It's a big ride that's best reserved for conditioned riders. Much of the trail is easier-intermediate technical, but there are many tight turns and a few rock gardens that will challenge skilled riders.Courtesy of utahmountainbiking.com

The Chopped Coyote Trail is accessed through multuple trailheads. Behind the UVU Wasatch campus, riders can find the trail, following it for about 1.5 miles until it reaches the Riverview Trail. The main trail is the Riverview Trail, though it can be joined from various other points. When the trail begins it is a bit of climb, but this makes the trail all the more fun. In the beginning there will be climbing up until the high point which is about 7550 ft in elevation. Along the way, riders will pass through several aspen tree groves. The views all across the trail are beautiful and showcase the Wasatch mountains, fromt the Big and Little Cottonwood, the Unitah's, and Mount Timpanogos. After this view, the trail will descend from the mount and will graudally become more steep. This portion of the trail is full of switchbacks because the mountain is becoming steeper, though the trail is not. This trail forms a loop and will take riders back to the Riverview Trailhead, past the UVU Wasatch Campus trail. It is a great ride with some good technical portions.
