The trail has a broad track and smooth banked turns. It's suitable for experienced beginners. It's 1.5 miles in length, covering 450 vertical feet to a high of 8700 feet elevation. On the upper end, it forks onto Steps about 100 feet from Thaynes Road and the Yurt. Right behind the Yurt is the one-way downhill Mojave Trail to Midmountain. From the Yurt, you can also take Three Candles uphill to Keystone.

Good rides with Tommy's Two Step include:
Easier non-technical climbing route to the high mountain. Start with Jenni's, then take Midmountain south to Tommy's, then connect uphill with Three Candles to Keystone and on to Shadow Lake.
New loop options above Midmountain. Take your favorite route to Midmountain, then combine Tommy's with Mojave. I've also put together a bigger loop that includes Keystone.

This lariat loop is 11.5 miles long with 1600 vertical feet of climbing. You'll climb via Jenni's, CMG and Tommy's, then descend by Mojave to close back to Midmountain. You can also mix it up. There are a lot of options on this side of Park City. But with more trails being designated as one-way routes, you may find a favorite ride must be done another way.

From parking, go to the southwest corner where there's a gravel path along the edge of the condos. You should be able to see the lifts and the Alpine Slide. Pedal up the path until you hit pavement. (The entry to Silver Spur will be on your left about half-way to the pavement.) Jenni's is up the paved ramp on your right.

As you climb Jenni's, you'll reach a four-way. Jenni's continues straight across. Turn hard right to get onto the two-way section of CMG. Follow the old mine grade uphill. When it intersects a gravel road, turn left uphill for 20 feet, then fork hard left to catch the east-bound Midmountain Trail.

About 1/3 mile after Midmountain turns back to the west, you'll come to a sharp turn. Mojave -- straight ahead -- will be your downhill route. Instead, turn to the left and continue on Midmountain. Continue around a mile southbound on Midmountain until you reach Tommy Two Steps.

Climb Tommy Two Steps (you can detour on Steps if you like the old classic climb). Tommy will join Steps near the top. You'll also pass the top of the newer Silver Queen downhill route just before you reach Thaynes Road. Turn right and pedal past the Yurt. Find the top of Mojave on your right, just past the Yurt.

Now descend Mojave back to Midmountain.

When you reach Midmountain, fork left. Now follow the trail signs to navigate through the complicated interaction above the mine and ski lift. (Below are Johns , Johns 99, and Jenni's.) Stay on Midmountain until you hit the gravel road where you left CMG. Hard right downhill, catch CMG and roll downhill. When you reach the Jenni's intersection, though, stay on CMG for the rest of the descent.

This ride is for upper-intermediates at 13.3 miles and 2000 vertical feet of climbing. Although I again climb lower Jenni's to upper CMG uphill, you can mix it up by climbing to Midmountain via the whole length of Jenni's , Sweeneys/Johns , Empire Link , Spiro , Armstrong ... whatever. The loop will be in the clockwise direction.

's to

As above, find the start of Jenni's and climb uphill. When Jenni's crosses over CMG, turn hard right onto CMG and climb all the way uphill toMidmountain and turn left.

Now head east then south, passing the bottom of the one-way Mojave trail (our return path). Continue until you reach the bottom of Tommy's Two Step.

Climb up Tommy's Two Step. When you see a trail on your left at a spot where Tommy's turns hard right, take it. That's Two Step, and it will take you to the bottom of Keystone at Thaynes Road. You'll miss about 1/2 mile of Tommy's, but you could climb all the way to Thaynes Road and coast back down to Keystone.

Climb all the way up and around Keystone. Enjoy views to the north, south and east as the trail meanders. You'll cross Webster road twice.

At the trail fork above the road, keep to the right. The left fork is Fat Lip. When you reach a fork in a large meadow, fork to the right on Three Candles.

Descend Three Candles. As Three Candles hits the yurt area, take the lower gravel road on the left, just past the yurt. Find the top of Mojave and begin the descent.

Mojave will end on Midmountain. Turn to the left and ride to CMG. Turn right downhill on CMG.

Coast down CMG to PCMR parking.

Getting there:
In Park City, follow the signs to Park City Mountain Resort. As you see the first parking area, turn in and park there. Look to the southwest (toward the main resort. Pedal toward the spot where the parking lot meets the condos. As you reach a wire gate, the gravel doubletrack that heads uphill toward the Alpine Slide is the beginning of our ride. As you reach pavement again, you'll pass the entry to Jenni's Trail (to your right). Look to the left. See the log squeeze chute? That's the start of the Crescent Mine Grade (CMG) trail. Jenni's is across from CMG, along the edge of the lift.
