This a great trail with minimal inclines, but a few that will get your heart pounding. Great for beginners, nothing too strenuous. It’s very well marked. I took the scenic trail, which was more of the same. There is a very pretty outcropping of boulders in one section with a new looking park bench that overlooks Ogden. It is a bit buggy with strange red bugs and some that make a clapping sound. Saw a very small snake. Lots of mountain bikers so keep your eyes open. Took some trail mix, a gatorade, and liter of water and it was plenty. I had hiked 2 miles on Indian Trail already before I turned around to hit Bonneville and that was plenty of food/water. The sun was beating down but this time of year it felt pretty good. Running tights, hiking shoes, a thin long-sleeve base layer and a tshirt, bit that’s just me. Parked at 22nd street, easy access. Would do this again!
We took our 2 kids ages 7 and 10. There were so many bikers that we kept having to go on the edge. If you are going as a family, I wouldn't recommend. Very busy and you have to listen for bikers because of all thebswitch backs, you can not see them. If the kids are talking too much, you won't hear them. It was however a very beautiful trail and I would do it again in a heart beat!
