Empire Pass Climb from Midway

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

Climbing Empire Pass westwards from Midway on the Guardsman Pass Scenic Backway offers a challenging but scenic ascent into Utah's Wasatch Mountains. Prepare for approximately 11-12 miles of sustained climbing, gaining over 3,000ft to reach the 8,740ft summit. The main climb averages around 5-6%, but features steeper sections, particularly on the initial winding climb out of Midway and in the final push towards the pass, where gradients can reach 8-10%. Along the way you'll enjoy the transition from aspen forests to stunning alpine meadows as you approach the top.

Park City Downtown

Highlight • Settlement

Park City Downtown provides a diverse array of art galleries, shops, restaurants, and lodging options. Cyclist fans will not only enjoy the large trail network, they can also enjoy the arrival of the Tour of Utah in Park City – a road cycling race across Utah – which takes place since the year 2000. Hopefully the race will return in 2023. The race was cancelled three years in a row due to COVID-19.

Town Lift

Highlight • Rest Area

Town Lift is in the downtown area of Park City and takes people up to the juncture of Trestle, Mid-mountain Connect, and Driftwood. The lift is open in the summer months as an alternative to ascend Treasure Hill. The lift usually closes after ski season and reopens from mid-June to early September, from morning until dusk.
