Mount Timpanogos Park in Orem has a new mountain bike trail, according to a September 9 report by the BYU Daily Universe. The track is a phase 3 trail, representing the most advanced track currently offered at Mount Timpanogos Park.
The new track features elements such as jumps, drops, and berms. Kenneth Peck, a senior who rides for Mountain View High School, said the addition of something fresh is exciting and will be beneficial for many years.
Orem Mayor Karen McCandless stated that the track was a multi-year project that began as a modest loop but has since expanded into one of the best mountain bike systems in the area for riders of all skill levels.
While the track contains the steepest drops, biggest jumps, and highest berms in the park, the primary focus of the trail is to provide a space for community gathering.
Funding for the project was provided in large part by Utah’s Division of Outdoor Recreation. This division awards money to various community projects, including over 46 million dollars awarded in 2025.
Noemi Molina, a grant analyst who assists in deciding fund allocation, said seeing the results of these dollars in the community is the best part of the job.
