Shell Shocked Trail is a 1.2-mile out-and-back mountain biking route in Utah, set within Lambert Park in the Pleasant Grove Ranger District of the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest. The land is managed as city land, and the trail sits about half a mile from the town of Alpine. The climb is moderate, with a one-way gain of 242 feet from a low point of about 5,191 feet to a high of about 5,453 feet. The route is short and compact, making it an easy addition to a day spent exploring the surrounding area. For comfortable weather, late spring and early fall are the best bets. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Alpine show May highs around 71°F and September highs around 79°F, with July peaking near 89°F. The Dr. Pepper Trail and Zag Trail both start about 0.1 mile away, and the South Side Boulders climbing area is about 1.2 miles off. Granite Flat (Utah) campground lies about 5.3 miles away.
