12TH STREET TO BEUS CANYON TRAIL DESCRIPTION
This is the Ogden section of the Bonneville Shoreline Trail. There are several trail heads that access the BST along the way, but this is the description of the full section from 12th Street TH to Beus Canyon TH. One way is 6.4 miles and starting from either end will be a great experience.
The views on this trail are amazing, but keep in mind that a majority of this trail is exposed and not covered by trees. Also, there is not much water available for your four legged companions, so plan accordingly. But the gentle inclines and declines are perfect if you are looking for both a moderate and stunning trail.
