      100 2.7 516 ft 35 ft 30
      Love this little connector, just really short, before dumping you out to the flat, boring water tower road.
      75 4.3 2,956 ft 0 ft 28
      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 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 21
      Fun ascent from Dry Canyon Parking Lot.
      85 4.0 2 miles 632 ft 15
      Trail winds up the hillside. Crosses an old trail we used to call 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 the other...
      85 2.3 3 miles 575 ft 15
      This segment of the BST follows a service road high above .
      70 4.0 3,301 ft 16 ft 14
      Fast and flowing moving south, a local favorite when completing the loop. When starting from the Orem trailhead, this is a great way to end your ride.
