Ridge Connector Trail is a short, out-and-back mountain biking route in Utah's Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, within the Pleasant Grove Ranger District.

Summer is the most comfortable time to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Sundance, which sits roughly 1,300 feet lower, show July highs around 81°F and lows near 58°F.
