Ok, This is a trail report with everything that you need, I am going to post a link to the trail I submitted to Motionbased.com (gps website) click on the link and the page will have everythnig you need to check this trail out, within the page if you navigate on the left side where it reads "activity dashboard" you can choose elevation, speed, distance etc. Then in the middle of the page it has driving directions, google earth (it will graph the exact trail) etc. Click on the charts: everything and you can see the profile of speed, elevation etc. check it out it is pretty cool and makes it easy to get info on the trail.

I guess the name says it all, if you are a window licker (aka Re-tard) and can't keep on the trail that could be a possibiilty,or if you are trying to ride the short bus up the hill!!!, it is no different than the other portions of the BST, I have had no problems and also there is an older man who walks these trails and keeps them spectacular ( trims trees rakes trail etc) , one more thing there is a new trail leaving from rainbow gardens and is suppost to be pretty cool. Pics will be on later today.

How have the trails in that area been lately in terms of mud? That is, before today's snow. I haven't been up there in a couple months.

The trail that goes between the point where the canal goes into the mountain, and around the 5th N parking lot (around there, across from the Catholic church) it's a pretty fun, quick ride. That's where I usually park when I ride that area.

From Catholic church South, absolutley no mud trail is in prefect shape and has been dry for quite some time. BST trail report that Somebeech did shows the trail conditions prior to this storm, just a few frozen sections.

In the pics, the trail that you ride is above the canal road and if you look enough you can see it across the mountain. The order of the pics start from bottom of posted pics to top. Sorry I posted them in the incorrect order.

Well done, man.

You know, one of these saturdays, we'll have to start at @4800 south and Harrison and ride the shoreline trail from the south, all the way to rainbow gardens, across 12th, and onto this trail.

That would be a cool ride to hook it all together.

I'd prefer to do it the other way. Start at North Ogden, and ride it south, then turn around. Do it as an out and back. That way, the return trip would mostly be a long downhill!

I think I would rather do it the way somebeech suggested, either way your sixes, it is only on the bench so you don't really have climbs? I would do any way!!!

Just got back from the ride that I mentioned that I was going to do, The trail was spectacular and had only two 5 foot spots where the water was actually running over the rocks, absolutely no mud. This trail is one of the few trails that dry's out days before any other trail. Conditions were great, trail was great and we were able to convince a guy in the parking lot to come and join us, he loved the trail. I am thinking I am going to ride the trail tommorow because I will out of town untill thurs? I usually rest up on sundays but I might make it out. Let me know if anyone wants to join for a ride.
