      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.
      • 5 ★ 2.3 • 3 miles • 575 ft •
      This segment of the BST follows a service road high above Provo Canyon.

      This upper part of Lazuli trail is steep and partly an old jeep trail. Really just serves as a connector to Trail 051 and the Dry Canyon Loop.
      • 5 ★ 0.0 • 781 ft • 3 ft •
      New trail in 2024 bypasses 3 switchbacks of the Indian Hills trail. For uphill makes the climbing easier and not so steep. For downhill it's easier than the 3 tight switchbacks.
