Mapleton Canyon Ride - June 15 2013

This ride starts from the Whiting Campground up Mapleton Canyon in Utah County. You can use 400 N in Mapleton to get to the canyon. Drive to the end of the road in the campground and you'll be at the trail head for trail 006. The first few miles takes you up a creek bed, so be careful in high water times. After a while the trail splits off to the right (016 to Diamond Fork) and left (013 toward Hobble Creek Canyon). We were told by a local that the trail to Diamond fork is basically only one way since it's very hard to come back up it once you head down toward Diamond Fork. Sam and I took the left fork and went over to the intersection of 013 and 012. We'll spend another day exploring the other trails in the area.


The video I made for this one definitely has a double purpose.  Not only was it fun for me, hopefully it will help to drive more traffic to his motorcycle/ATV website.

  1. How difficult would you rate this ride? I would like to ride from whiting to hobble creek and come out hobble creek canyon (my bike is a street legal XR400)

    I am new to riding and have only done single track a few times up AF canyon. Could a beginner handle this trail?
