Great trail that takes you up some switch backs and around to the little bridge crossing. Don't let the word "Road" fool you, this is great singletrack. It WAS a road back-in-the-day, but nature has reclaimed all but a narrow path now. Note that it is a pretty stiff climb, and is a favorite among Wasatch Crest Shuttle riders, so beware of riders coming down fast.
