Description of Race Events

The Traverse Mtn. 9 miler starts on the Highland/ Alpine border and crosses over Traverse Mountain, down into the scenic Corner Canyon area of Draper City. The course begins on a wide dirt road, in a narrow canyon that climbs to the summit of Traverse Ridge. At the summit there are views of Salt Lake and Utah Counties. It is beautiful! From the summit, the trail takes you down Corner Canyon via Ghost Falls Trail. Ghost Falls Trail descends Corner Canyon through a wooded area of switchbacks on a single track trail. On this stretch of trail, the scenery is breathtaking and actually passes a flowing waterfall. Near the bottom, the trail opens up and begins to climb back towards the summit. Clark's trail ascends the grade in a shaded grove of trees that makes you feel like you are on the east coast rather than the deserts of Utah. At the summit you return to the race start point on a very fast 2.5 mile decline.
