| WASATCH CREST SHUTTLE's mountain bike shuttle service is a convenient transportation alternative in Salt Lake City. Increased popularity of mountain biking in Utah has resulted in expanded trail networks requiring a shuttle to take full advantage of the riding available. Due to the proximity of Salt Lake County's Tri-Canyon area (Little, Big, & Mill Creek Canyons) and Park City, each canyon is connected by excellent trails creating an array of mountain biking opportunities. WASATCH CREST SHUTTLE's mountain bike shuttle allows you take advantage of those opportunities. | View Mountain Bike Shuttle Map in a larger map |
Utah Transit Authority (UTA) has endorsed Wasatch Crest Shuttle for "... develop[ing] transportation alternatives that enhance air quality, conserve energy and improve mobility along the Wasatch Front. UTA Rideshare appreciates WASATCH CREST SHUTTLE for providing outdoor enthusiasts a chance to leave their car at home." With gas prices rising exponentially every day, the option to leave the car at home is becoming more appealing. And your time is valuable - 90 minute round-trip car retrievals take up too much time on weekends that are already busy. Wasatch Crest Shuttle's mountain bike shuttle service is overdue: According to the National Forest Service, Wasatch-Cache National Forest, visitors to the Tri-Canyon area will make increasing use of mass transit to reduce the congestion on the highways, and mass transit opportunities will expand to include year-round operations (Revised Forest Plan Wasatch-Cache National Forest, February 2003, 4-162). Finally, Solitude Ski Area's Master Development Plan states that traffic counts from 1990 to 1995 in Big Cottonwood Canyon show that during weekends, holidays, and the peak of fall foliage, the number of vehicles traveling SR 190 is similar to that of peak winter uses (1.9.1.3). Leaving your car behind is as option that is clearly long overdue.
Expanding trail systems in Salt Lake and Park Cities, the convenience of a regular schedule on weekends and holidays, rapidly rising gas prices, and limited spare time make WASATCH CREST SHUTTLE's mountain bike shuttle a clear choice for your recreational transportation needs.
