In spring, the snow melts to reveal an amazing network of over 400 miles of hiking, biking and horseback riding single-track trails which traverse the countryside and Park City area for summer and fall excitement. It includes the acclaimed 26 mile “Mid-Mountain Trail” which runs through The Colony, designated an “Epic Trail” by the Intermountain Mountain Biking Association.
