Bonneville Shoreline Trail -
North
Ogden Canyon to Pleasant View (plus Willard trail) The Bonneville Shoreline Trail (BST) is a system of trails along the Wasatch Front that follows the approximate shoreline of ancient Lake Bonneville. The section from the North Ogden Canyon Road (North Ogden Divide Road) to the Pleasant View trailhead is 4.6 miles and is usually done as an out-and-back ride from either end. This ride instruction includes 7 miles of technical singletrack extending to Willard Canyon. Less-strong riders will want to ride the BST only. |
