South Fork of the Provo is a fun, short, scenic singletrack ride. It is an ideal trail to introduce a new mountain biker to the joys of singletrack! The trail has one or two rocky spots, and one small hill climb. It is an out and back, with a short loop at the end. The more advanced rider can continue on up the trail past Big Spring.
