Mountain Bike
The Mt. Wire Pipeline Trail is a great singletrack away from the crowds. The lower portion is steep with loose rock. The Pipeline itself is loose gravel and has more hills then a roller coaster!! Start out like you are heading up the Bonneville Shoreline Trail. At 1/2 mile into the B.S.T. you come to a road, turn right and descend about 30 yards, taking the singletrack on your left. From here it's all up hill to the pipeline. After reaching the pipeline, the choice is yours, turn left and follow it back to the B.S.T. or turn right and follow it up Emigration Canyon.
