Urban Trail is a short, easy mountain biking route in Utah, set within Rosecrest Plat Q on city land. The climb is an out-and-back of about half a mile, with a low point of 5,012 feet and a high of 5,108 feet, a total gain of about 87 feet. It's a quick ride, and the trail is close to several other spots, so it works well as a short stop or a link in a longer outing. 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. Patriot Gulch and Juniper Canyon are both hikes about 0.1 mile away, and Juniper Flow, a mountain biking route, is about 0.3 mile off. Mountain Shadows RV Park, about 6.5 miles away, offers a place to stay.
