I have recently been exploring Slate Canyon, with a number of rides. 
It is located just south of BYU, and it climbs up to the base of Provo Peak. The climb itself is quite intense, with some technical steep rocky climbs that weren’t very easy to top. The trail crosses a large stream that meanders along the canyon bottom.
According to the map (rather than my own exploration of the trail), the trail connects at the bottom of the valley with a trail leading up from Rock Canyon. It will be interesting to see where the valley trail leads too.
The canyon is absolutely gorgeous. In comparison to Rock Canyon, Slate Canyon is much more enjoyable due to less traffic. The technical climbs seem to deter those who can’t fathom what the difference could be between a $150 Costco special and a carbon fiber Specialized Epic.
Here are a just a few photos of the trail. Stay tuned for further explorations!
