River Trail is a short, moderate mountain biking ride in Lambert Park, a city-managed parcel in Utah. The route is an out-and-back about 1.2 miles long, with a one-way elevation gain of 95 feet from a low point of about 5,200 feet to a high of about 5,304 feet. It sits within Lambert Park, and the nearest town is American Fork. For comfortable weather, aim for late spring or early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Alpine put May highs around 71°F and September highs near 79°F, while July averages climb to about 89°F and winter highs stay in the upper 30s. The River mountain biking route and Judy's Walking Trail both start about 0.1 mile away. Climbers can head to South Side Boulders, roughly 0.9 mile off, and paddlers to the American Fork, about 3.6 miles away.
