Nestled at the foot of the Wasatch Range, Draper, Utah has quietly transformed into a world-class mountain biking destination. From flowy singletrack to adrenaline-pumping descents, Draper’s trail system is more than just well-built—it's soul-stirring. Whether you're a weekend warrior or training for your next race, this mountain town offers terrain and views that keep you coming back.

📍 Trail Highlights

Corner Canyon Trail System This crown jewel of Draper biking offers over 40 miles of interconnected trails that cater to all skill levels. Here's what to explore:

Maple Hollow Downhill Tucked just east of Corner Canyon, Maple Hollow packs a punch with steep grades and technical rock features. Ride it for an advanced challenge, but check your brakes and suspension—it's a wild ride.

🌄 Scenery Meets Sustainability

What sets Draper apart isn’t just the trails—it’s how they integrate with the land. The city has invested heavily in trail maintenance and watershed protection, keeping erosion in check while encouraging outdoor recreation. You’ll wind past Gambel oak, mountain mahogany, and trailside wildflowers in full bloom, especially in late spring.

🛠️ Know Before You Go

• Trail conditions are updated by Draper Parks & Rec and the Utah Mountain Biking Association. Check before you ride—rain can close sections to protect fragile soil.

• Best seasons: Spring and fall offer perfect riding temps, but early morning summer rides are doable with plenty of hydration.

• Parking: Try the Coyote Hollow Trailhead or the Draper Cycle Park for easy access.
