I have asthma, and it sucks! This past winter was a tough one. Today was the perfect day for an easy hike to help get back my full lung power. I opted for a portion of the Bonneville Shoreline Trail above the Foothills section of Salt Lake City. I had never hiked this stretch before, so it was my March adventure.

Lake Bonneville was a large lake that covered most of what is now Utah, and parts of Idaho and Nevada during the Pleistocene Era. The lake was name for Benjamin Louis Eulalie de Bonneville, a 19th century fur trapper, by geologist G.K. Gilbert. Several levels of the old shoreline are visible in the foothills and mountains to the north and east of Salt Lake City.
The small portion of the trail I hiked was well groomed, and fairly busy with families and individuals.

| Highland High School likes to paint this rock, which falls into its boundaries. |

| Corrigan Canyon is the southern entrance to the trail, and a home to a small enclave of expensive homes. |
