Utah Mountain Biking


http://www.utahmountainbiking.com
Purpose: Trail locations and details for mountain bikers.
Properties: Digital. Trail reports are in an easy to read format, have all of the details a biker needs and include a mile/gps summary.  Many have GPS coordinate files in different formats as well.

This site is more than just trail reports.  It has an active forum and quite a few non-trail pages such as race reports and bicycle maintenance.  However, the trail reports are a good example of how a website can create great maps and guides because they are specific to a community and because of the passion that goes into the effort.

If there is one thing I would like to see added, it would be overall maps of areas with links to the trails.  Here is an example.
