Lambert's Luge Trail

Lambert's Luge Trail is a short mountain biking route in Lambert Park, about a quarter mile from the city, on city-managed land in Utah. It's a compact ride, with a total round trip of about half a mile and a climb of about 180 feet, so it works well as a quick stop or a warm-up before heading elsewhere in the park. The route is an out-and-back. The steepest stretch comes early, with a 9% grade about 0.11 miles from the start. The high point is around 5,330 feet, and the low point is just under 5,230 feet. The trail is rated moderate, and the climb is roughly 86 feet one way. For timing, late spring and early fall are the most comfortable. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Alpine put May highs around 71°F and September highs around 79°F, with July the warmest month at about 89°F and January the coldest at about 39°F. Two hiking trails, Poppy Trail and Ruin Trail, sit about 0.1 mile away. South Side Boulders is a climbing area about a mile off. Granite Flat (Utah) is a campground roughly 5.5 miles away.
