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.

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.

Be courteous, informed, and prepared. Read trailhead guidelines, stay on the trail, and don't feed the wildlife.
