Overview

Naildriver is a very well mainted trail located on the slopes of Bald Mountain inside of Deer Valley Mountain Resort. The trai starts at around 8,200' and ends around 9340' atop Bald Mountain (the elevations would be vica versa depending on which way you ride the trail). Although not as tough or technical as other trails around the area, this trails still provides supreme ridding.

Trail Description

Starting at Silver Lake Lodge, you can either take the lift up and ride down or do it the hard way and ride all the way up. Either way, you will be in for a fun ride. If you plan to ride up the trail, head up the main slope below the ski lifts. It will switchback up the mountain and the head off towards Ontario Canyon. It continues to work its way up the mountain through large stands of Aspen groves. Eventually, you begin reach the a main road which leads to the top of Bald Mountain. If your take the ski lift up, head south after the lift and there will be trails going off to the west side of the moutain. Naildriver should be marked with plenty of signs so look for the signs.

Getting There

From Park City- Head SE on Deer Valley Drive. At the traffic circle, take Marsac Avenue. This turns into Ontario Canyon Road. Take a left at Guardsmen Connection Road and then take right on Royal Street. Deer Valley will be just past this on the right side. Park here.

When to Bike

Summer and early Fall are the best times to ride becuase generally the snow will be gone. Late spring and early summer might be open, however, depending on the snowfall, there could still be large amounts of snow along the trails. Aside from the snow fact, Deer Valley does not operate these trails during its winter operationg months.
