Silver King is a short climb in the Spanish Fork Ranger District of the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest in Utah, about 1.4 miles long with a total elevation gain of 280 feet. It starts at roughly 5,530 feet and reaches about 5,952 feet, making it a quick rise for riders who want to get up to the higher ground before heading down the Silver King Downhill Trail or the Pipeline Trail, both of which sit about 0.1 mile away. The most comfortable months for a ride are typically late spring and early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Santaquin show May highs around 69°F and September highs around 78°F, while July averages about 90°F and winter brings frequent snow days. Climbers can find Santaquin Canyon and Avalanche Wall about 2.3 to 2.4 miles away, and Tinney Flat campground is about 3.5 miles off.
