The Shoreline Trail

January 9th 2020 - Thursday
It's been snowing on and off since yesterday, so the mountain trails get muddier and muddier.  Perfect mountain goat weather! 
I managed to find the Bonneville Shoreline Trail, which people have been asking me about.  I'm not sure where it starts but I found a starting point in Willard Canyon.  Maybe it's the end or maybe it's actually the beginning.
It was very steep and slick from the frozen snow and ice.  A few of the local hikers have been using it,  and many take their dogs with them, which is surprising since it's such a small single track trail.  Actually more of a deer trail, but a mountain bike can definitely be used also.  Go to You Tube and search for a video of it.  Contact me if you can't find it.

The start of the trail.  As you can see, very slick and icy.
Folks have cut through a grove of junipers, which makes for a cool look.
More junipers, maybe half way through where I was going to exit the trail.
Found the old telephone poles in the canyon (hard to see in this photo.)
Finally, the sunset shot.  Almost to where I exit the trail and head home.
