Hike and Mountain Bike

Located in Draper, UT, Potato Hill Trail start at the trailhead on Transverse Mountain Road. and goes down to the (BST) or Bonneville Shoreline Trail west of Coyote Hollow. There are some trails that intersect Potato Hill Trail like the Red Potato Trail; it extends from the Potato Hill Trail to the west 0.7 miles downhill to the BST just east of Red Rock and the Lexie and Ethan trail; it's 0.6 west past Red Rock to join the BST near Mike Weir Drive. The parking has been paved and cleaned due to demand and there are 30 parking places in the paved lot. There are also restrooms close to the trailhead in case you want to go before you begin. The trail is a short trail but combined with the trails surrounding the Potato Hill Trail can easily be a 3 mile long venture (most hikers combine potato trail, the red potato trail and the BST to make a loop. After the entry through the log fence, you turn right to begin the potato hill trail and after a mile, the trail will fork (stay left onto Potato trail). It's a great trail for climbing with a smooth slope with nothing too bump or tough.

Never modify trail features. Ride trails when they're dry enough that you won't leave ruts. Speak up when you see others on the trail and always yield to hikers, horses, and others coming uphill. Always ride on the established trail.
