Engineered singletrack that follows the undulations of the mountain. This adds a key extension to the Bonneville Shoreline Trail to cut out a large road section in North Salt Lake

Disclaimer

Trail is finished to North Canyon.

Adaptive Bike Info
aMTB Blue Rating: Intermediate features and steeper terrain.

Trail is 30 to 40 inches wide. No technical features, flat and fast with nice berms on some of the hollow corners. Some light off camber on the ridge corners, some kitty litter is often laying about because the soil is very rocky. Can be ridden with confidence.
