Rose Crest Bench is a short, moderate mountain biking route on city land in Utah, set within the Rosecrest Plat U. It sits about 0.2 miles from the Juniper Flow and Juniper Canyon trails, which makes it an easy addition to a ride in this part of town. The route is an out-and-back that covers about 0.4 miles, with a one-way climb of 24 feet from a low point of 5,194 feet to a high of 5,235 feet. That makes it a quick stop rather than a long climb. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 74°F and October highs around 66°F, while July and August average in the low 90s. Other nearby options include the Urban Trail and Patriot Gulch, both about half a mile away. Mountain Shadows RV Park is roughly 7 miles off for an overnight stay.
