Summit Park

The Summit Park Trail System offers hiking, trail running, and mountain biking in a high-elevation forest. The trails pass through Summit Park Open Space, a protected area that preserves the natural habitat of local wildlife. To plan your trip, you can distinguish between named hiking trails, trail connections, and winter routes by activity.

Hiking and Trail Running in Summit Park

The Over Easy Hiking Loop is a 5.9-mile route through Summit Park that starts and ends at the Short Stack Trailhead. This gives you a clearly defined loop; via Summit Slam, a hike to Summit Park Peak is also possible. So, in addition to a route with a set start and end point, you can also choose a possible hike to the peak.

Summit Park Open Space, through which the Trail System passes, is protected by a conservation easement held by the Utah Division of Forestry, Fire, and State Lands. The area preserves the natural habitat of local wildlife and is recognized as a Forest Legacy area. The natural and forest setting is therefore an integral part of the trails’ landscape.

Mountain Biking and Winter Routes

No Worries from Discovery is most commonly ridden by mountain bike, but can also be completed on foot. A route connection to Summit Park is possible via Toll New World and No Worries. The Mid Mountain Trail extends from Deer Valley Resort to the Summit Park neighborhood of Park City. These trails can be distinguished by their character: No Worries from Discovery is described as suitable for two possible activities, while the description of the Mid Mountain Trail identifies its endpoints.

There are various winter singletrack routes in the Summit Park and Discovery Ridge area. The trails south of I-80 in this area run mostly through densely forested, steeper terrain and are intended for people with intermediate to advanced skills. UP and Pale Green Dot are the only groomed fat bike singletrack trails there. This means that several winter singletrack routes are available overall, alongside a more limited selection of groomed fat bike trails.

Bus Access and Directions

In the Summit Park and Discovery Ridge area, Woodward Trailhead is the only trailhead accessible by bus on High Valley Transit’s Route 108. If you want to take this connection into account when planning your outings, check the Route 108 schedule before you travel. This lets you include the named trailhead and bus service together in your plans.

Historic Traces and Woodward Park City

Construction of the Golden Pass Road began in 1848 and was completed in 1850. It was considered an important western route into the Salt Lake Valley. Remnants of the former railroad are also visible south of Interstate 80 near the summit, including the cuts of the “Horseshoe Curves.” Both examples add a historical dimension to the area that is distinct from today’s hiking and mountain biking routes.

Woodward Park City is located on the site of the former Gorgoza Park tubing hill; Gorgoza Park was in Summit Park. A December 2025 article describes tubing on groomed lanes at Woodward Park City. For the upper tubing hill, it lists four lanes and a length of 1,200 feet. Operating details may vary seasonally, which should be taken into account when planning a visit.
