Antelope Island Figure 8
Layton, Utah
14.5 miles SW of Layton, UtahThe vistas are awesome, the rock formations are beautiful, and the silence is something you don\\'t experience much these days. You WILL feel like you are on another planet when you are in the backcountry. For the most part this is a fairly easy ride for most riders from a technical standpoint. There are some rocky sections that require more advanced skills, but the vast majority of the trails are smooth. FYI these trails are best enjoyed in the spring and fall as there is almost no shade on 99.9% of the trials. If you do plan to ride on the hotter days you may be better off to hit the trails as early as possible to beat the heat. Additionally some sections of the trail can get very sandy in the dry summer months. Good for a workout. On weekends you\\'ll encounter quite a few horse riders and a few runners. Because of the openness of the island, it is normally super easy to see others well before you meet them (but still be careful and yield as required).Courtesy of mtbproject.com
