Silver King Downhill Trail is a short, low-elevation mountain biking route in Utah's Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, within the Spanish Fork Ranger District. The trail is about 0.17 miles long, with a total elevation gain of 80 feet, so it's a quick ride that fits easily into a longer day on the mountain bike. The trail runs between two other mountain biking spots, Silver King and Bacon, both about 0.1 mile away. That makes it an easy addition to a ride that starts at either of those locations. For comfortable weather, late spring and early fall are the best bets. 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 regular snow days. Climbers can head to Santaquin Canyon, about 2.3 miles away, and Avalanche Wall, about 2.4 miles away. Tinney Flat campground, about 3.5 miles off, offers a place to stay.
