Black Canyon trail off of Teton pass. Very nice mountain bike trail. Has a good 2 mile climb at the start, requires some walking for me. Followed by an excellent 4 mile downhill.
If you are tough and have time, you can park at the trail creek trailhead and ride up the paved bike trail to the top of the pass then take the Black Canyon trail back to your car. I am neither so we shuttled a car to the trail creek trail head then drove back to the top of the pass to start. Trail tooks us close to an hour 45 minutes.
Some views from the top by MT Elly looking down into Black Canyon.
Goes through a small aspen stand with lush vegetation.
Halfway down from the top before you enter the trees.
This is a look at the climb you start out with from the pass. 
More shots looking out over Black Canyon.
Shot for Mt Elly.
More from the top.Trail is very fun but does have some hazards. Mainly tight turns a few creek crossing and some rocky sections. We have encountered a girl who broke her collar bone after going over her handle bars. I have hit a bump causing me to go over mine smashing my helmet and flattening my tire. So be prepared. But well worth it.
