This trail is a little too technical for beginners, but for the intermediate (and above) crew it offers fun riding along a mix of forest, meadow and ridgeline.

You get dramatic 360-degree views from the summit, especially to the east where the mountain drops away sharply beneath you. You can see all the way to the reservoir, and get great views of the incredibly dense trail network crisscrossing the slopes below.

"Little Mountain Pass" is really the summit of Little Mountain. There are awesome views from this high point on Emigration Canyon Road.
