Trail Description

20th East Trailhead
(2.15 miles – dirt)

Head south on the trail that crosses Corner Canyon Rd 0.25 mile from the trailhead. The trail slowly climbs as it enters Corner Canyon, meeting a trail coming up from the Equestrian Center Trailhead. At this point part of the BST splits, one branch continuing to the Point of the Mountain Flight Park and the other climbing Corner Canyon and connecting to Utah County. The trail climbs in the bottom of the canyon, then rises on the southern slope opposite Corner Canyon Rd. The trail meets the road at the top of the climb near the Suncrest Trailhead.
