The Bonneville Shoreline Trail is a series of trails along the slope of the Wasatch Mountains where the old shoreline of Lake Bonneville met the hills. Good aerobic ride. Can be rideable in winter, but tread carefully. Great views of Salt Lake City and beyond! Can be busy. Descending Bobsled trails is the best option to leave the BST. Courtesy of Singletracks.com
