Orson Smith and Ralph's Trails
Orson Smith and Ralph's trails are very short routes extending up to the Bonneville Shoreline Trail (BST) along Draper's east foothills. These trails have become popular as hiking and bike routes since the big suspension bridge was completed at Bear Canyon. Strong riders can go directly uphill, while intermediates should take a long "ride-around" on the dirt Corner Canyon Road to the BST then pick one of the trails to descend.
