Rode the Willard section of the BST last night for the first time. The trail is in great condition with no mud or snow. It's a lot of fun. It's in keeping with the character of the other Ogden sections of the BST. There are some switchbacks that are a bit tight and loose, but it's all in good fun.

Excellent early season option. It'll be roasting in the afternoon/evening in the summer with its exposure, but just about perfect in the sun at 55 degrees yesterday.

That's a nice break since Ogen is still probably chilly.

There is some interesting rock art along that section of the BST if you know where to look.

Where are the trail heads. I work in North Ogden so it would be pretty close

This link has a trail description of the Willard stuff as well as trailhead info.

We parked at the east end of 7425 S in Willard. From there, you take a gentle 1 mile climb up to the BST. We then headed North for a bit, came back and headed south. This TH puts you roughly in the middle of the Willard section, but is not on any maps that I have seen.
