Confirmed from Bonneville Shoreline Trail “Z” Connector's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Park featuring kid-friendly hiking trails with scenic views overlooking the city.
What runners say about Bonneville Shoreline Trail “Z” Connector
“If you start at the trailhead, it is very steep in the beginning, but it pays off with some great views of the valley and the city.”
“Parking was not crowded (as of a Monday morning on a holiday weekend), saw relatively few other hikers.”
Trail is pretty steep at the beginning, lots of direct sun, bring more water than you think you need. Parking was not crowded (as of a Monday morning on a holiday weekend), saw relatively few other hikers. Trailhead is clearly marked.
Great to hike and mountain bike right by the Natural History Museum. We love the various trails and beautiful flowers that bloom changing from beginning of spring all the way to fall. Also great to see lots of lady bugs. Great to practice mountain biking as you can make short or longer trails as building endurance.
City lights were pretty dang cool at night ,, trail was a bit damp and slippery from all the rain , over all it felt good to be on the mountain again
Oh my good garsh. What a marvelous place to run. I got tired though so thats my only complaint. I wish the forest service would do something about that. I don't want to get tired. Its not fair. I am entitled this.
