Utahns first envisioned the 250-mile Bonneville Shoreline Trail in the early 1990s. How have we progressed building it since then? Join us as we hike the entire trail to evaluate the State of the BST and learn what we can all do to help it along.

Here you can watch our series of short documentary videos, read our trail report blog, explore the state of the trail in our interactive webmap, contribute your ideas for what we should see and do along the way, and donate to offset our production costs and to actually help build the trail.

The Latest!

Our newest release is Episode 25, a short episode in which my dog Molly joins us in the northern part of Ogden. Our latest hike was in Brigham City, with three very different trails on a nice late fall day. And check out our latest “backtrack episodes,” where I’m on my own exploring some new sections of the BST in areas we have already passed.

New Merch!

We just completed a beautiful poster map showing a panorama of the current status of the trail, set in its urban and mountain landscape. Buy your copy today from my store on Zazzle; half of all proceeds will go directly to purchasing additional BST trail markers and signs.
