Free MTB shuttle to Bonanza.

Beat the heat. Skip the canyon drive. Ride free to Bonanza Flat Conservation Area from the Wasatch Front.

Utah Open Lands’ Bonanza Shuttle launches this Saturday, July 18, offering free weekend rides from the Big Cottonwood Canyon Park & Ride in Cottonwood Heights to the Bloods Lake and Bonanza Flat trailheads.

Spend the day walking, riding, picnicking, exploring, or simply enjoying one of the extraordinary landscapes Utah Open Lands helped protect forever—without navigating Big Cottonwood Canyon, searching and paying for parking, or adding another individual car to the road.

Saturdays + Sundays
July 18–September 27
7:30 a.m.–4:30 p.m.
Hourly departures on the half-hour

Each van carries up to 11 people and seven bikes. Service is free and first come, first served. The final shuttle down from Bonanza Flat leaves at 3:30 p.m. Only service dogs are permitted for this pilot season.

Pickup: 3865 Big Cottonwood Canyon Road
Look for the Utah Open Lands’ Bonanza Shuttle sandwich board.

Every shared ride means fewer cars, less parking pressure, and less air pollution—while making it easier for more people to experience Bonanza Flat Conservation Area.
