The route

Mountain Green → Huntsville

Route line traced from OpenStreetMap — the real GPX drops when we ride it with the GoPro.

Element 01

The summit roll

The crest opens up Ogden Valley, Pineview and Snowbasin in one windshield.

Element 02

The sweeper set

Wide, predictable, beautifully surfaced — confidence-building corners.

Element 03

Huntsville

Gateway to Monte Cristo, home of very good burgers. The valley does hospitality right.

GoPro run — in the queue

Every route on this guide gets ridden and filmed by the shop. This one hasn't had its camera day yet — it's on the Saturday list, and the footage drops right here when it happens.

The dossier

Why this road.

SR-167 was built for Olympic traffic to Snowbasin in 2002 and rides like it: modern, wide, cambered sweepers rolling over the shoulder between Morgan Valley and Ogden Valley. It's short — nine miles — but it's the connective tissue of every northern loop we ride: Ogden Canyon up, Trappers over, Monte Cristo out, or reverse. It's also the road for shaking down a new-to-you machine: enough speed to trust it, enough sight-line to survive your optimism. On a fall morning with Snowbasin dusted white, it's genuinely hard to believe it's a commuter road.

Machines for this ride

All of them. If a bike isn't fun on Trappers, we shouldn't be selling it.
