55k Course

The 55k will take you up gorgeous White Pine single-track, topping out at Butterfield Pass, then up the road to the Kennecott Mine Overlook (9,015'). After peering down into the open pit, descend to Butterfield Pass again, where you will ascend the Butterfield Peaks Trail, visiting Butterfield Peak East (9,370'). Next, you will head west, summiting White Pine Peak (10,323'), then north/northwest to visit Peak 9,712' & Tooele Peak (9,601'). The course will then have you descend into Left Hand Fork of Settlement Canyon, cruising along the "Bench Trail", down to the southeast side of Settlement Canyon Reservoir. After visiting your third and final aid station, you will head southeast up Settlement Canyon, attaining the "Ridge Trail", on your way back to Bear Trap Pass; back up to Tooele Peak, Peak 9,712', & White Pine Peak. From here, you will head south and bag Kelsey Peak (10,373'), then head east down to the top of White Pine Canyon. After descending through beautiful aspen groves, you will follow White Pine Canyon Rd back to the Start/Finish Area.

From aid station 3 to the finish is another 12.5 miles, re-bagging Tooele, Peak 9,712', White Pine Peaks, and adding on Kelsey Peak!
