Rainbow Trail is a short mountain biking route in the Ogden Ranger District of the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest in northern Utah. It is a nearly flat ride, with a high point of 4,733 feet and a low of 4,724 feet, and it covers about 0.05 miles. The trail is so short that it works well as a quick stop or a warm-up before heading to other spots in the area. For comfortable weather, late spring and early fall are the best bets. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Ogden show May highs around 69°F and September highs around 76°F, while July and August average in the upper 80s. Several other outdoor spots sit close by. Hidden Valley is a hike about 0.2 miles away, and the Ogden River Parkway mountain biking route is a similar distance. Climbers can head to Ogden Boulder Field, about 0.3 miles off, and the Ogden River offers paddling roughly a mile away.
