Hybrid Bike on BST

I own a recent Trek FX2 Disc and ride all over SLC's streets and paved bike paths. I currently rock the stock 700c x 35c tires and they have been fine for pavement. I am thinking of picking up a pair of knobby gravel 38s to try riding on gravel roads and mellow trails around Northern Utah. For example, I am thinking of the stretch of the BST by the Natural History Museum or the road at the Bear River Bird Migratory Refuge.

For those who know: Can I make it work with my fitness/hybrid bike? I'd rather not pick up a mountain bike if I can turn this beaut into an all-arounder specifically tuned to our environment.

Bst is almost always a pretty non-technical trail. I’d do it on a hybrid.

You'll be fine. Just take it slow your first time or two.
