Mountain biking to Desolation Lake via Great Western Trail - Utah Outside
The mountain biking trails in Salt Lake's Mill Creek Canyon are very popular, including the trails to Dog Lake and the Great Western Trail which sees a lot of downhill traffic from bikers descending the Wasatch Crest Trail. However, it's also a fun ride to go up the Great Western Trail and experience the Wasatch Crest going the other way.
