Saddle Loop Trail is a short, moderate mountain biking route in Utah, about 1.5 miles from the town of Kamas. The trail is an out-and-back, roughly 0.9 miles long, with a low point of 7,230 feet and a high of 7,368 feet. The climb is gentle, with an elevation gain of 132 feet one way. The most comfortable months for riding are typically June through September. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Kamas show highs in the mid-70s to low 80s and lows in the 40s and 50s. That station sits about 887 feet lower than the trail, so temperatures on the route run cooler. Dogs are allowed, which makes it an easy choice for riders bringing a pet along. The trail sits close to several other routes. The Chase Trail is about 0.1 mile away and the Short Fuse Trail about 0.2 mile. Bottoms Up Trail, a hike, is about 0.3 mile off. Ponderosa Group Campground, about 3.7 miles away, is the closest place to camp.
