Bonneville Shoreline Trail: Fernwood Recreation Area to East Mountain Wilderness Park

The trailhead is at a dirt parking lot with a lot of parking, but on Saturday mornings it can get full and people are forced to park on the street. As you start off, there are a few steep and sandy switchbacks. They don't last too long but on a hot day it can seem like forever.
