About this trail
Lower Jacobs Ladder Mtb (USFS trail 1477) runs 1 mi through Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest in Utah. The figures here are pulled from the official US Forest Service trail data for Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, covering the trail's mileage, tread, grade band, and the bike and e-bike uses the agency lists as designated. USFS records list its surface as native material. USFS slope data puts it in the Easy band (grade band +5-8%), meaning a gentle climb — keep in mind this measures steepness, not trail technicality. Mountain bikes are allowed, with a Jun–Oct season in the data. The agency lists no Class 1, 2 or 3 e-bike designation here; absent a local order to the contrary, that means e-bikes are not an allowed use on this trail. The route is mapped as USFS Trail Class 3 on the agency's 1-to-5 development scale, where 1 is the most primitive, minimally maintained tread and 5 is the most developed. Treat this as a planning reference rather than a live conditions report, and verify any time-sensitive closure or order with the ranger district that manages Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest.

How we read this data
Grade-based difficulty above is the USFS grade (route steepness), not a technical mountain-bike rating — a gentle-grade trail can still be rocky or technical, and vice versa. Bike and e-bike status come verbatim from the USFS managed-use fields for this trail; we never infer access we can't cite. See our methodology for how the dataset is built and what each field means.
