Bst Access Trail is a short, easy out-and-back hike in Wasatch National Forest in northern Utah, managed by the Forest Service. The trail is about half a mile long, with a total elevation gain of about 130 feet, and it connects to the Bonneville Shoreline Trail just 0.1 mile away. The most comfortable months for a visit are typically May and September, when typical averages from a nearby weather station run from highs around 70°F to 79°F and lows in the upper 40s.
