Fun and fast section of the BST. A wide, well-travelled dirt sidewalk, There area a couple of tough but short climbs (Blue Rating for the climbs) but everything else is wide and flat. Not technical at all. The trail traverses the foothills above North Salt Lake and SLC toward City Creek Canyon and Ensign Peak to the south and toward Eaglepointe and NSL to the north.
