Ruin Trail is a short, moderate mountain biking route in Lambert Park, a city-managed park in Utah. The out-and-back trip runs about 0.8 miles and gains about 120 feet in elevation, from a low of about 5,200 feet to a high of about 5,332 feet. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to ride. Typical averages from the nearby Alpine weather station show May highs around 71°F and October highs around 65°F, while July averages climb to 89°F and winter lows dip to about 22°F. The trail sits just 0.1 mile from Lambert's Luge Trail for another ride, and Poppy Trail is the same distance away for hikers. Climbers can head to South Side Boulders, about a mile off, and paddlers can reach the American Fork canoeing run within about 3.5 miles.
