Hike and Mountain Bike
White Pine Canyon has long been the subject of intense controversy between advocates of wilderness and ski resort owners. The original boundaries of Lone Peak Wilderness Area, created in 1977, were meant to include White Pine Canyon, but lobbyists representing Snowbird Ski Resort succeeded in having White Pine Canyon excluded. Hike this fantastic canyon and discover why everyone wants it. This trail is open to mountain bikes but they are extremely rare. This is an easy hike but a real grind on a mountain bike.
More Information
