Cross Country Rider Summary:
I work near Pineview Dam and ride the lower skyline trail weekly. IT is not for the faint of heart! It's a steady climb all the way to the ridgeline. as you descend to the North Ogden Divide you need to check your legs and think twice about continuing up to the base of Ben Lomond. If you're up to it, this is a trail you're sure to ride over and over again. With a rewarding and fast downhill, you forget how much it hurt to get to the top. Take lots of water on a summer day, There's almost no shade the whole way through. Have fun and make sure your breaks work for the downhill back...it can get pretty hairy around some of those ridges and switchbacks! Recommended Route:
Park a half mile above Pineview dam on the right and cross the road up the trailhead. Other recommended trails in the same area:
Wheeler Canyon below Pineview dam, Bonneville shoreline trail.

Cross Country Rider Summary:
Hope you like to climb! Each of these trails offers some of the longest, best sustained climbs you will ever see. The Southern Skyline trail, starting from the Pineview Reservior trailhead is relatively smooth. A great place to take your hardtail and crank up your aerobic capacity. Halfway up, there is the most amazing view of Mt Ogden. Go in June when the trail is lush, but the mountain snowcapped, for a class A photo op. The Northern Skyline trail runs about the same relentless grade, but is rockier and you will feel it more. Ben Lomond trail is the toughest yet, and best saved for the downhill unless you are a serious hammerhead.

, from Wigan Pier, UK Summary:
I did the North Ogden Pass to Ben Lomond segment. Don't let anyone fool you, the trail is a tough lug. This segment starts with two or three miles of switchbacks and then a few miles along the backside (east side) of the ridge until you get to the base (base, mind you) of Ben Lomond peak. Get there and then you decide if you want to do it.
The best thing about this trail are the endless views. Go on a nice, clear day and enjoy. Other recommended trails in the same area:
Wasatch Crest, Pipeline, Mueller, and the Double Secret Trail.

, from Sandy utah Summary:
Lots of climbing, descent is kind of harrowing as the trail switches back along the mountain with a sheer drop on one side. Multi use trail so plan on dodging hikers and horses (don't forget to watch for horse shit). The upper part of the trail is by far the best and is 4 star.
