Pioneer Ridge is a mountain biking route in Utah, about 2.5 miles from the town of Brighton. The ride is short, covering less than a mile, with a total elevation gain of about 280 feet from a low point of roughly 9,400 feet to a high of about 9,866 feet. Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July highs around 72°F with lows near 47°F, and the station sits several hundred feet lower than the ridge, so expect temperatures up top to run a little cooler. The route sits right next to other riding. Perrier Pass is about 0.1 mile away and Jupiter Ridge about 0.3 mile away. Climbers can head to Guardsman, about 1.6 miles off, and White Pine Lake offers fishing about 2.4 miles away.
