Reviewed 2026-10-22. City expressly permits ordinary bicycles on FUTS and lists this existing park-to-canyon trail. Its current description gives 0.7 mile while the July 2024 map gives 1.1 miles for a broader/versioned extent. This selected return uses the shorter basis without adding network branches. Snow, soft tread and barriers can interrupt the outing. This is a source review, not a same-day inspection. Recheck the linked manager before travel.
Map and Directions
Use the named public start and its posted parking signs. The map reference identifies the facility or selected trail area; it is not a surveyed parking stall or navigable route line. Bicycle and e-bike rules can differ; only ordinary bicycle use is established unless noted.
