Getting there:
As you enter Park City, follow the signs for Deer Valley and Guardsman Road. Get on Bonanza Drive heading south uphill. At the roundabout, turn toward Empire Canyon (SR 224). Stay on that road for about 3.5 miles. Go through the roundabout in front of Empire Canyon Lodge and head uphill on 224. Just after the turn to the right, park on the left side of the road. The Midmountain Trail is back downhill just above the turn. Head left (west).
Shuttle: Leave the return vehicle in the parking strip as above. Drive the shuttle to the top of SR 224 and find a spot to park on Empire Pass in the broad gravel area. Start riding west on the gravel road on top of the ridgeline. After about 1/10 mile, find a trail on the right. This is Upper Corvair. Follow this trail to TG near the hairpin turn in the road, then take TG down to Corvair and on to Payroll.
