2019 LHM Tour of Utah Stage 5
For the first time in race history, Canyons Village at Park City Mountain will host both the start and finish on Saturday, Aug. 17 for Stage 5 presented by University of Utah Health. A winding trail across Summit County will take the race past Jordanelle and Rockport reservoirs for a total 85.1 miles (137 km) and 5,236 feet of climbing. Sprint lines in the meadowlands of Kamas and Hoytsville are bookended with KOM lines along the mountainous terrain near the Jordanelle Reservoir and up the often-traversed Browns Canyon.
The route will twist around Kimball Junction for a possible General Classification shakeup in the final six miles. Riders will cross the top of Utah Olympic Park for the first time and face a blazing downhill on Bear Hollow Drive. The final push is vertical along Canyons Resort Drive and High Mountain Road to the finish line in the heart of Canyons Village at Park City Mountain.
