There are incredible views along this ride! You'll weave through s a deep pine forest as you climb. Enjoy the awesome downhill of Stump Hollow full of water diversion berms to jump on the way down.

Start at the Beaver Mountain turnoff (UT 243 off of US Hwy 89) trailhead. Go south from Hwy 89 up the buff Stump Hollow singletrack. The trail is usually hard packed clay and loam with some leaves and pine needles as you get higher. The trail is never extremely steep, and you can pretty much climb all of it, but it does get steeper near the top.

The trail winds through deep pine forest with many water diversion berms. Keep climbing until you get to the Peter Sinks junction. You'll exit the trees into the high alpine of Peter Sinks. The terrain is mostly open here with sparse pine tree stands. Fork right to the huge Peter Sinks rockpile.

Continue south on FR 173 jeep road through the high alpine and sagebrush meadows. Fork left (east) on the Peter Sinks dirt / jeep road. Follow it around the Peter Sink in a counter-clockwise loop along the ridge. Descend the final ridgeline to complete the lollypop loop. Enjoy the awesome downhill of Stump Hollow. Jump all the water diversion berms and rip back to Hwy 89.

The coldest temperature ever recorded at Peter Sinks in Utah was -69.3°F on February 1, 1985. This temperature is the second coldest ever recorded in the contiguous United States, just 0.4°F shy of the all-time record set in Montana in 1954. The unique topography here causes the cold air to sink in an inversion during certain winter weather cycles.
