This segment of the Bonneville Shoreline Trail (BST) runs from the South Maple Hollow trail in Draper to the Sensei trail in Traverse Mountain -- with a 0.5 mile section of subdivision streets on the way. (According to the Lehi master trails plan, the pavement link will be replaced by a traversing singletrack trail in the future.) 

Looking south toward Utah Lake from the BST. Trail review by Bruce on October 16, 2022.

Most riders will use the Brookside Trailhead in Maple Hollow on the southern side of Traverse Mountain. This trailhead has lots of parking, but is busy enough that it fills up by mid-morning. There's running water, a bathroom, and shaded picnic area. At the top of the trailhead, turn left onto Maple Hollow, then in 0.2 miles, fork left downhill on the BST.

Brookside Trailhead in South Maple Hollow.

The BST from Maple Hollow hits pavement at 400 West 4330 North in Lehi. There's room for 4 or 5 cars here, but it's not a fully developed trailhead and there's some surrounding construction. Find the singletrack at the eastern side of the paved area and climb uphill on the eastbound BST.

400 West trailhead in Canyon Hills. The trail is at the end of the pavement.

Use this trail entry spot to climb uphill to Sensei. There's trail access from the sidewalk along Autumn Hills Blvd, but no formal trailhead or parking. Use the 400 West trailhead then backtrack down 400 West, turning right on Mountain View Blvd. Take the next right on Autumn Hills Blvd and follow it as it turns left and westbound again. Watch for the small lane between homes on your right. It will be 0.5 miles between the 400 West trailhead and the entry to the trail.

This is what you're looking for. The trail will climb up to Sensei.

At the Sensei (Traverse Mountain) trailhead at the water tank above Reggio Circle in Traverse Mountain, pedal 1/10th mile uphill and keep straight at the first switchback. The southbound trail is the BST.

The BST forks away from Sensei at the first switchback turn.

This is the entry to South Maple Hollow. The trail on the other side of the log fence is Zooropa.

Rolling through maple forest as we climb away from Maple Hollow.

NOTE:  This connection is not complete as of October 16, 2022. The ends are only 0.1 miles apart, but have 120 feet of elevation difference. At an 8% average slope, this will require 1/3 mile of trail to tie the ends together. Some riders are bypassing the unfinished area on dirt roads, but you have to know where you're going. (When going eastbound, the DT uphill to the Maple Hollow section is hike-a-bike steep. See the GPS track file for navigation.)

View south over Lehi, American Fork, and Utah Lake.

Heading into Dry Hollow on the westbound ride. The dirt road can be snaking up the canyon, while the trail turns to the left and traverses the hillside.

Some riders will turn right onto Dry Hollow to climb Maack Hill. There are connections to other primitive trails and doubletracks at the top of the hill. The road gets very steep near the top, so this option should be considered an adventure ride. FYI, the master trail plan calls for a bikes-only trail that will run the length of Dry Hollow in the future.

Looking toward Lone Peak as we ride east on the Lehi segment of the BST.

Turn left downhill on 400 West, then right on Mountain View Blvd. Take the next right on Autumn Hills Blvd and follow it as it turns left and westbound again. Watch for the small trail corridor between homes on your right at 0.5 miles from the 400 West trailhead. Now climb 1.5 miles to the Sensei trail, keeping to the right at two trail forks.

The western side of the BST becomes increasingly dry and open. Here we're looking east toward Timpanogos near the western end of the trail.

The bottom of this trail lies on Autumn Hills Blvd on the uphill side of the road. Watch for the corridor between homes. It's 0.5 miles on pavement from the 400 West trailhead to the trail entry on Autumn Hills Blvd.

View while descending south on the BST.

The pitch of the trail is fairly gentle and consistent. The riding is suitable for beginners.

Looking toward the Bingham Canyon mine as the trail winds around.

There are two neighborhood connectors as you descend, each on your right. Keep left for the main trail. The uppermost connector goes to a residential circle under construction. The lower connector goes to Seasons View Court.

Looking east toward Box Elder and Timpanogos as the trail winds back and forth.

The BST now makes a final descent to Autumn Hills Blvd. Turn left on the street and follow it as it turns right downhill. Turn left on Mountain View Blvd, then left uphill on 400 West. At 4330 North, turn east and find the trail at the end of the pavement.

The Lehi master trails plan shows a future trail just above the subdivision that will connect the two current trails so that no pavement riding will be required.

Coasting down through sparse grass on dry hillside.

The Powerline DT is 1.3 miles long. There's a total of 400 feet of climbing from east to west -- compared to 500 total feet of climbing if you descend to the city streets and climb all the way back uphill on the BST.

Climbing along the powerline corridor.

If you're coming back from the western end of the BST at 400 West in Lehi, the powerline DT is at mile 0.8 (there will first be a couple of other dirt roads crossing the BST that are NOT the one you want).

One of the spots where the powerline road takes a dip downhill.

Very easy riding, lots of views over Utah Valley. OK for a quick out-and-back ride if you're local. For a "real" ride, combine it with Sensei, Traverse Traverse, Ann's, and Maple Hollow as a loop ride.

View toward Lone Peak on the BST.

Brookside Drive Trailhead (South Maple Hollow):  Brookside Drive turns to the west off Suncrest Drive, just uphill from the Maple Hollow subdivision. This is about a mile uphill from Utah Valley. Drive past the homes and uphill to the end of the road. The South Maple Hollow trail is on the west side of the road at the top of the parking strip. It will take you to the BST after 0.2 miles. (The higher trail on the right side of the wooden fence is the downhill-only Zooropa. Don't enter.)

400 West Lehi:  Turn off the Timpanogos Highway at 500 West. Go left on Canyon Hills Drive, then at 4050 North turn right. Turn left on 400 West. Drive uphill to 4330 North and find a spot to park. (There's only room for a couple of cars at this time.) The eastbound trail is on the east end. The trail going north and uphill is 0.5 miles west on Autumn Hills Blvd.

Note: The Lehi and Maple Hollow sections DO NOT connect at this time. Do NOT ride it from the Lehi end; it's closed! From the Draper side, stop when you reach a trail-construction zone or closed sign. It's possible to drop off the Maple Hollow BST on a dirt road at mile 0.9 (becomes steep), descend to a westbound dirt road and turn right, then fork right uphill on the Dry Hollow dirt road to climb back back to the Lehi BST.
