Dedicated cycling lanes in town, FITNESS & AEROBICS CENTERS abound, including in the larger hotels.
Mountain and Street Bikes can find a pleasant ride on several well marked city and campus bike lanes, especially Bannock Highway on the west side. The same Sister Cities Park and City Creek Trail offer greater challenge. The Portneuf Greenway is open to bikers with a courtesy eye out for runners and walkers.
Hiking is enjoyed on the same challenging trails with the added benefit of being able to get further up the mountains, especially the west bench.
