Mill Creek Trail is a short mountain biking route in Fitts Community Park, a city-managed park in Utah, about 0.3 miles from Welby Avenue. The trail is only about 0.3 miles long, and the climb is nearly flat, with the high point at 4,262 feet and the low at 4,257 feet, so there is no elevation gain to plan for. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 72°F and October highs around 66°F, while July and August average about 90°F. The closest neighbor is the Millcreek Trail, about 0.4 miles away. The 1300 East Multi-Use Path is about 1.4 miles off, and the Red Monster climbing area is about 1.9 miles away. For a longer outing, the Jordan River is about 4.1 miles from the trail.
