GREEN POND MTB and SNOWBASIN HIKE

God gave us a wonderful 4th of July in the mountains. Snowbasin is lush green and has wonderful views. You may think you are in Europe and not Utah. After the bike ride we enjoyed free music on the lawn and went hiking. 
GREEN POND TRAIL

SNOWBASIN MOUNTAIN BIKING DESCRIPTION: From Snowbasin, the trail starts by the bike wash station. We headed up the road to the first Green Pond trail and went around the loop clockwise. 

SNOWBASIN 

The lower loop is intermediate technical and has some rocky sections. It also has nice forest bridges, and great views.

At the junction to go to the highway, we turned up to the upper loop. We found this section moderate and less rocky. Once up, it is a great ride down to Snowbasin.
