This trail is one of the most popular trails because it’s easy to get to and very well known. However, because we live nearby, it was a great place to start.

To get there just enter the American Fork Canyon in Cedar Hills (get directions) and pass the Timponogos Cave National Monument by about 3-4 miles and look for the fork in the road. Turn left at the fork (a sign clearly marks the way to Tibble Fork). Then drive another 2-3 miles to the parking lot.

From this parking lot, next to the lake, you can find 2 trails that are easy for beginners to ride (a few rough spots, but my 8 year old/first time rider did fine). One trail goes East toward Heber and the other is at the end of the pavement (about 1/2 mile) and it leads you toward Silver Lake Flat. This is gorgeous and leads eventually to Alta Snowbird (directions here).
