Bonneville Shoreline Trail - Provo Canyon Section The Provo Canyon section of the Bonneville Shoreline Trail is an advanced-intermediate singletrack hill climb, followed by a fairly flat cruise out to a view over Utah Valley. Altitude gain is 500 feet, but feels like more. Out-and-back to the viewpoint is 6 miles. Despite the low beginning altitude of 4850 feet, this is not an all-season trail. Snow remains until late April. |
| The trail starts on the Provo River Parkway, between the Bridal Veil
Park parking lot and Bridal Veil Falls. About 0.1 mile up the paved path, look for the
Bonneville Shoreline sign and a singletrack on your right. It's a fairly steady climb,
gaining about 500 feet over the first mile. After the initial climb, the trail intersects the southern pipeline. Here,
the trail flattens and winds around the hillside, generally staying over or near the
pipeline. Some short sections will be doubletrack. The trail is intersected by multiple
ATV and doubletracks. When in doubt, look around for the most flat trail -- if you're
making a stiff climb or descent at this point, you're off the pipeline trail. At around 2.5 miles (GPS N 40° 18.771' W 111° 38.355'), the new singletrack climbs up over the ridge to your left. Note the spot, but continue straight on the pipeline trail out to the viewpoint 1/2 mile later. Backtrack. This is the official ride. If you want more riding, come back to the singletrack and climb up. After crossing the ridge, the singletrack dumps onto an ATV trail with multiple branches. If you continue to select the most flat trail, you'll arrive on top of a buried water tank overlooking northern Provo's homes, stables, and corrals. |
| Getting there: The trail is accessed from the Provo
Canyon Parkway, a paved recreation trail. The closest trailhead is at the Bridal Veil Park
parking lot. Pull off US-189 two miles up Provo Canyon at the Bridal Veil Park - Nunns
Park exit, then turn right into the parking lot. The trail on the right side, just where
the road turns into the parking lot at GPS N 40° 20.249' W 111° 36.578'. Many
riders park at the mouth of Provo Canyon on Orem's 800 North Street (parking is left just
past the gas station as you reach the canyon, before you enter the overpass). GPS N 40°
18.840' W 111° 39.472'.
