 | Bonneville Shoreline Trail - Provo Canyon Section The Provo Canyon section of the Bonneville Shoreline Trail is an advanced-intermediate singletrack hill climb, followed by a fairly flat cruise out to a view over Utah Valley. Altitude gain is 500 feet, but feels like more. Out-and-back to the viewpoint is 6 miles. Despite the low beginning altitude of 4850 feet, this is not an all-season trail. Snow remains until late April. The trail is intersected by jeep roads and other singletrack routes. When in doubt, take the most flat trail. |
