Lower Escalador Trail is a mountain biking route in Utah, about a mile from the town of Kamas. It serves as the main climbing route to the High Star Ranch trail system, branching left off Lazy Dazz just south of the step-over trail entry. The trail is mostly smooth pedaling, and the climb is moderate, with a one-way gain of about 390 feet over roughly 1.4 miles. The route is an out-and-back, with the low point at about 6,529 feet and the high at about 6,929 feet. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Kamas show July highs around 84°F with lows near 50°F, while winter brings highs in the mid-30s and frequent snow days. Dogs are allowed on the trail. Several other routes sit right next to it, including Lazy Dazz Trail, RADke Trail and Tombstone Trail. Ponderosa Group Campground is about 4.5 miles away.
