Alpine Loop Winter is a short mountain biking route in Utah's Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, within the Pleasant Grove Ranger District. The Forest Service manages the land, and the route covers about a mile and a quarter, rising roughly 385 feet from a low point of 6,886 feet to a high of 7,288 feet. For timing, late spring and early fall tend to be the most comfortable. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Sundance show May highs around 62°F and September highs around 68°F, while winter brings highs near freezing and lows in the teens. The route sits right beside the Mount Timpanogos trail system, with the Mt Timpanogos Winter bike route and the Mount Timpanogos Trail about 0.2 to 0.3 miles away. Mt Timpanogos Campground is also close by. A little farther out, Echo Reservoir offers lake fishing about 4.4 miles away.
