Your LEAST favorite bike trail?
What is your least favorite mountain bike trail(s), you know, the one you hate riding so much you'd rather keep the bike hung up in the garage than go out with the crew?
Or maybe you just think they are overrated, talked and raved about way too much.
I'll start off with Antelope Island's White Rock Bay Loop. It gets some attention because it's almost ridable year 'round, but other than that I don't think too much of it.

Not because it sucks, but because I suck.
Zen trail. It's still way above my skill level and I have to walk down a bunch of spots. So every time I'm filled with a sense of dread that I'm gonna die. Hopefully this summer is the one I master it.Your safety is not my responsibility.

Not a big fan of Zen either, but it doesn't get nearly as much as hype as the BOOOOOORING trail system at Gooseberry!

I do not like wheeler canyon. If it wasnt for icebox I would never ride it.
I do like Zen trail, all the technical stuff is humbling though. The downhill is way fun!
White rock is bad huh? Its all sandy and not much fun either. But if you head up to the split rock trail and Elephant head it gets better a little better.
I had a good time on Gooseberry but It does get a ton of hype.Still trying to get in riding shape.

Gooseberry may be overated, but it does offer a wide variety of terrain and trees. The cool thing about it is that it is a mesa and relatively flat. ( No puke hill climbs here ) I only like the South rim trail to the point and the hidden canyon portion. The rest of the mesa is too boring for me. Ditto to Sombeech's feelings about the Zen trail. The worst trail that I rode and I refuse to ride again is in Southern Utah. The red mountain overlook trail. There are a lot of trails in the Moab area that kick my butt everytime, but I enjoy the social aspect of talking with other riders or watching the jeeps. Behind the rocks trail in Moab is one trail that I would pass on unless I was on a dirtbike.

I wasn't a fan of Guacamole. I like Zen, however it has left a wicked memory on my leg that won't go away. It still hurts and it has been over a year. I agree with Ryan, Wheeler not my favorite but Ice Box on the other hand LOVE IT! Sure is gorgeous weather down here!!

I see what you're saying from the video, but all I've heard are positive things about it. Hoping to get out and ride it on Weds or Thurs if I can convince my pops to shuttle it with me. I imagine with all the attention it's getting on mtbr and umb that the trail is only better since these vids.

I was really disappointed with the Pipeline. Rattlesnake gulch was cool but I found the rest of the ride to be pretty boring. In my opinion, the Pipeline is way over rated.
How can you have your non-dairy pudding substitute if you don't eat your wok-braised tofu?

I'm not a big fan of anywhere I have to hikeabike up just to hit a little downhill, for that the first part of BST to get up to Bobsled isnt so fun but Bobsled makes up for that but I LOVE Wasatch Crest despite the Puke Hill part. Also, don't like the first climbs at Solitude but once you get up there bombing down is fun. I don't really have a trail I completely didnt like - the closest one being the one on Corner Cnyn that I wrecked & became bionic(eventually). It was FULL of chest - high weeds and growth & my hayfever was peaking just about the time I lost it on a descent and, well, the rest is history. I like anything that has some technical aspect to it. However, I hate a trail that is full of babyheads & thorns.

Really?? I love this trail! I have never run into goat heads on the initial climb out of Tony Grove. There is some loose rock, but not really that bad in my opinion. Decent but not to strenuous climb, bomber downhill with some decent techy spots, one sketchy little surfing section, some stream crossings and warp speed smooth singletrack. I would understand if this is not your favorite trail, but I can't imagine it is the worst trail you've ever ridden......To each their own. The worst part for me is the two short hike-a-bike sections on the lower singletrack and those weren't even mentioned.
Worst trail for me is the Deer Fence in Logan. The only time I will ever ride that is early spring because it is the only option.
