Directions to Trailhead:	Take provo canyon road up the canyon. Follow signs to sundance and continue up to Aspen Grove. Go past the ranger station and up the hill a few miles to the parking lot at the top of the summit. You'll want to drive two cars if you just want to have fun and downhill it. There are other trails out of this lot as well and you don't have to worry about having another car to bring you back up top.
Trail Description:	Killer downhill trail. I've done it a few times, and every time I go, someone in our party gets hurt. It's a fast and steep singletrack the whole way down and gets pretty hairy in some parts. Let it ride and have fun!

Recommended Route: If you park at the parking lot on the summit, you can take trails in any direction, south, and go to sundance, North and got to Tibble Fork, East and go to Ridge trail, West, and go to pine hollow. If you do take two cars make sure you park it in the right spot. My Favorite trail of them all is pine hollow. Other recommended trails in the same area:
Review: These trails are smooth single track, with small rollers, and the occasional two foot drop(on Pine Hollow and Tibble Fork). Very fast, but not the most technical riding ever.	Overall Rating:

Review: I used to ride this trial in the late summer to early winter. It is one of the best(however short) around the Provo area. It's a climb to the top with some fun, technical downhill. A good ride for anyone except beginners.	Overall Rating:

Recommended Route: Start at Aspen Grove on the Timpanogos Trail, but hang a right at the bridge (do NOT go straight--it's wilderness, no bikes allowed, big sign, big fine, NO NO), then "earn your turns" by riding up to the summit. None of this two-car whiner stuff. It's just over 2.8 miles to the summit. Be sure to yield to runners and horses. Runners running the 100-mile Wasatch race (like me) BUILT this trail, and they get really pissed off at careening mt bikers, so BE NICE. If you yield like you're supposed to, you will have a pleasant experience. If not, you will get pushed over (yes, you will). Other recommended trails in the same area: Ridge Trail 157. Real men ride to Brighton and back from Aspen Grove (42 miles single track)
Review: Single track winding through aspen, season runs from late April through November. Lots of roots and nettle, but a gas both up and back. Black daimond if you do the round trip, blue square if just downhill. A good hour-long ride.	Overall Rating:

Review: It is a great trail, but I recommend starting at the Aspen Grove parking lot and biking up to the summit on the loop road. The downhill is beautiful. I have seen several moose on the trail. Nice, quick ride.	Overall Rating:
