The Skyline Trail system in Northern Utah's Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest delivers over 20 miles of pure single-track riding exclusively for motorcycles, featuring predominantly hardpack surfaces with challenging technical climbs and flowing descents through dense forest canopy. The crown jewel Ben Lomond Peak Trail presents a demanding 22-mile out-and-back route requiring 3-4 hours to complete, with elevation gains from 6,147 to 9,530 feet through narrow switchbacks, loose chunk rock, and exposed ridge sections that demand skilled navigation. Riders encounter a diverse mix of terrain including smooth winding passages, gnarly rocky switchbacks, and treacherous exposed narrow sections along knife-edge ridges that provide spectacular panoramic views of Ogden Valley, Pineview Reservoir, and surrounding 9,900-foot peaks.
The trail network operates from the North Ogden Divide Trailhead with seasonal restrictions affecting the northern section, which remains closed to motorcycles until July 15th annually. Summer represents the optimal riding season when trails are accessible and conditions are most favorable. Riders should exercise particular caution on shared trail sections near the trailhead where hikers, equestrians, and mountain bikers are common, especially on weekends. The system's difficulty rating reflects the technical demands of steep, sharp switchbacks and the sustained climbs required to reach destinations like Lewis Peak and Ben Lomond Peak, making it suitable primarily for experienced riders seeking a pure single-track challenge.Dirt Bike Trail System
