Summary:
Mud Springs is an awesome downhill if ridden from Ridge 157 or a BRUTAL uphill if ridden from Mill Canyon.

If you've been riding Ridge 157 out to Tibble Fork, try Mud Springs, its awesome in its own right and makes for nice variety from Tibble Fork.

By the way, there is a little ridden spur off of Mud Springs that climbs about 3/4 mile to a killer overlook of ALL of American Fork Canyon (valley to summit). Look for a hard left at the top of the climb (just before the trail turns dowhill).

The climb is mild except for three really technical rock gardens, but it makes for an even longer downhill ride on Mud Springs.

Recommended Route:
Ride Ridge 157 hang a left at the wooden MUD SPRINGS TRAIL sign, climb a while and then BOMB down!!!
