Pointy Rocks is a short mountain biking climb in Utah, about 1.1 miles from Park City. The route is just 0.18 miles long, rising 176 feet from a low point of 7,322 feet to a high of 7,523 feet. It makes an easy add-on to a ride in the area, with the Tour De Homes hike starting about 0.1 mile away and the Undertow Trail about 0.2 mile off. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Park City show July highs around 80°F with lows near 53°F, while winter highs stay around 33°F. That station sits about 620 feet lower than the climb, so temperatures on the rocks run a little cooler. Empire Pass, a climbing area about 2.5 miles away, and Jordanelle State Park McHenry Campground, about 2.9 miles out, are the closest options for climbing and camping. White Pine Lake, roughly 3.5 miles away, offers fishing.
