Description
This is one of several trails in the Avenues neighborhood that accesses the Bonneville Shoreline Trail (BST): Dry Creek to City Creek. Leaving from Tomahawk Drive, the trail skirts a driveway before ascending on singletrack to a historic lime kiln. Past the kiln, the trail climbs in earnest along the bottom of a drainage to meet the BST at a small saddle.
