Start at the parking lot and go east.
Comments
Depending on your perspective, this is about the best or the worst that Salt Lake has to offer. Average grade is 9.2%. To put this ride in perspective, you've heard of Alp D' Huez? You know, the brutal Tour De France climb? Well Little Cottonwood is almost exactly the same profile - distance and grade - just without all the switchbacks.
