      Love this little connector, just really short, before dumping you out to the flat, boring water tower road.
      • 80 ★ 4.3 • 2,956 ft • 0 ft • 29 •
      The best part of the Dry Canyon Loop, this is a really fun down hill. May be the best section of the benches, rivaled only by Ireland Down. Up this has a lot of hike-a-bike and fast riders coming down, not recommended as a climb.
      • 85 ★ 0.0 • 1,453 ft • 172 ft • 22 •
      Fun ascent from Dry Canyon Parking Lot.
      • 85 ★ 4.0 • 2 miles • 632 ft • 16 •
      Trail winds up the hillside. Crosses an old trail we used to call Firing Range that went straight down the mountain. This trail is pretty narrow, and undulates across the mountain side. For bikes it's a great climbing trail to access...
      • 85 ★ 2.3 • 3 miles • 575 ft • 15 •
      This segment of the BST follows a service road high above Provo Canyon.
      • 70 ★ 4.0 • 3,301 ft • 16 ft • 14 •
      Fast and flowing moving south, a local favorite when completing the Dry Canyon loop. When starting from the Orem Firing Range trailhead, this is a great way to end your ride.
