Lower Forbidden Trail is a short mountain biking route in Utah, about 2 miles from the town of Alpine. It is a moderate ride, with a one-way climb of about 50 feet over roughly half a mile, making it an easy addition to a day spent exploring the area. The trail is an out-and-back, starting and ending at a low point of about 5,740 feet and reaching a high of about 5,818 feet. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Timpanogos Cave show July highs around 88°F with lows near 60°F, while September cools to highs in the mid-70s. The Forbidden Trail and Stoney Way Trail both lie about 0.2 miles away, and the South Side Boulders climbing area is under a mile off. For an overnight stay, Granite Flat (Utah) campground is about 6 miles away.
