Rides close to Salt Lake City

I will be taking my family to Lagoon water park in Salt Lake City, Utah
in a few weeks. I would rather ride then hang out at the park, so I am
looking for trails close by that I can drive to. Anybody have
recommendations?

Regards,

Mike Kennedy

Park City is about 1.5 - 2 hours from Lagoon. Lagoon is actually 40min
north of Salt Lake. Muller Park in Bountiful would be fun:

A little farther south (next to the U of U) is Dry creek (part of the
shoreline trail) - another great ride:

I'm no expert on the area but I enjoyed the Wasatch Crest Trail and it
wasn't too far from the city. I was only in town for one day travelling and
riding/hiking with my wife a couple years ago.

That's close enough for me. Sme people travel that far for their
weekly fix. I would rather ride PC than any Front trails because of
the crowds on the Front trails and lower quality of the Front trails.

That snow should be gone in a couple weeks, I think.

Looking at the north-facing slopes of the higher peaks, I see rather
little snow. I suspect the Crest is rideable today, with possible short
pushes required to clear snow.

Well Mueller Park was a very fun trail to ride, in fact I rode it 2 days in
a row so that I could add the North Canyon trail on as well. I would love to
do this trail as a night ride.
