The G.O.A.T. Trail is a mountain biking route in the Pleasant Grove Ranger District of the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest in Utah, managed by the Forest Service. It is an out-and-back ride of about 6 miles, with a one-way climb of roughly 2,500 feet from a low point of about 6,800 feet to a high of about 9,300 feet. The trail is rated hard. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Alta, which sits a few hundred feet lower than the trail's high point, show July highs around 73°F with lows near 50°F, while winter highs stay around 30°F. The trail starts close to two hikes, Silver Creek and Holman Trail, both about 0.2 miles away. Granite Flat campground is about a mile off, and the Silver Lake Granite Boulders climbing area is about 1.5 miles away.
