Jupiter Ridge is a short mountain biking climb in Utah, about 2.4 miles from the town of Brighton. The route is just 0.18 miles long, with a total elevation gain of 227 feet from a starting point near 9,970 feet to a high point of 9,991 feet. The climb is steep in places, with the steepest stretch at about 0.09 miles, where the grade reaches 27 percent. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Silver Lake show July highs around 72°F with lows near 47°F, while winter highs stay around 30°F. That station sits roughly 1,250 feet below the ridge, so temperatures on the climb run cooler. The Io Trail (Upper) hike starts just 0.2 miles away, and the Pioneer Ridge mountain biking area is 0.3 miles off. Climbers can head to the Guardsman area about 1.3 miles away, and Redman Campground is 2.6 miles from the ridge.
