Potato Hill Trail  With mini-loops on Draper Rim and BST
The Potato Hill trail extends from Traverse Mountain Road to the Bonneville Shoreline Trail (BST) near Coyote Hollow. It's only 1/2 mile in length, but offers nice views and connections between trails to create new riding options. It provides a nice start for riding the Draper Rim Loop (11.5 miles, 1500 vertical when you include the Potato Hill trail downhill to the BST at the start of the ride). For bigger miles, when you reach the top of Clarks, add a loop of Rush-down, Canyon Hollow up for a total 17 miles, 2300 vertical. Smaller east and west loops are 4.8 and 7.1 miles.
