Name: Great Western/BST two bridges hike
Start: 2025-11-12T10:00:00-07:00
End: 2025-11-12T13:00:00-07:00
Location: Layton Ridge BST parking area

The first part of this hike is steep, but once we reach the high point the rest of the hiking is beginner rated. I would estimate the time to complete the steep section to be 20 minutes, then the remaining hike is relatively easy. The total elevation gain is 760' and a little over 3.5 miles. We will go out on a spur to an overlook where you might want to enjoy a snack. We'll cross two wooden bridges. The last bit on the return is the fire break road.

The trailhead parking is in the neighborhood which is on the mountain above where Route 193 intersects with Route 89. Head east on Antelope drive, then turn left at the first intersection (Valley View Drive). Keep heading north and the road starts curving up the hill. You will see a yellow "No Outlet" sign. Keep going up the hill. On the second switchback, you will see another yellow "No Outlet" sign on the right. On the left side of the street, there are two parking areas with Bonneville Shoreline trail parking signs. My GPS said the parking lot was "3195 E Layton Ridge Dr, Layton". Park at either lot – the circular one is closer to the trailhead.
