      Popular Orem Horseback Trails

      5 4.0 3,301 ft 16 ft
      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.
      5 2.3 3 miles 575 ft
      This segment of the BST follows a service road high above .
      5 3.2 1,647 ft 193 ft
      This upper part of 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.
