Luke's Trail
Luke's Trail is a fun twisting singletrack that starts on the edge of Price. As an out-and-back, it's a relatively fast nine miles. Overall altitude change is 650 vertical feet, but the only really steep part is the first short dirt-road climb as you leave Price. The trail is intermediate overall in technical requirement. Beginning riders will enjoy this trail, but will likely need to step the bike over some obstacles and walk through some of the wash crossings. For beginners, I'd recommend you drive the first 1.3 miles (parking near the storage tank) and start with the singletrack.

Go four city blocks to the far end of Pioneer Park, turn right onto 500 North and find a parking place. The ride starts at the corner of 100 East 500 North. You'll be riding west (towards the water tank).
