"My husband and I rode this trail from Coalville to Park City. We went in the middle of the day which was dumb, but that was the only time we had. We weren't acclimated to the altitude (our home is in Texas, 300 ft. above sea level!) but that didn't seem too much of a problem. I was getting really tired and thought we would never get to Park City, but I enjoyed the ride very much.

I had had my hip replaced 8 months previously so my condition wasn't what it should have been. Nevertheless, I thought I did pretty well for a 48 year-old grandma! We'll do the trail again next time we're in Utah, but we'll have SALTY snacks with us and go early in the morning if possible.

It's so nice not to have to worry about traffic. That's what I love about rail-trails. My husband rode the trail back to Coalville, but I wimped out! I went to McDonald's and got the biggest order of french fries I could get with EXTRA salt!"

"Started our journey down near echo resevior. The goal was to get 50 miles. My 11 year old son was trying to get his Boy Scout Cycling Merit Badge. Started out at 11:00 a.m., Monday, July 1. We wore 70 oz. Camel Backs and had 16 oz. water bottles on our bikes. We had to do the 50 miles in 8 hours or less to earn the badge. Passed by Coalville on 1/2 mile of pavement. Then the trail went back to hard-packed dirt. Temperatures were in the 90's. Very flat ride until you start nearing Wanship, Utah.

Beautiful stream accompanies you for most of the ride, but you're out in the sun during this whole ride so we were constantly looking for a shady spot to rest. Made 7 stops on our way to Park City. There are tables under some freeway over-passes, and that was really nice! In other shady spots, we just sat on the ground and ate power bars. Went through 4 power bars each for the whole trip. Consumed all water by the time we reached Park City, we had to refill! The hill going into Park City is not very bad (1 - 2% grade I think). Refilled our water supplies and began our trip back.

Costed our mountain bikes most of the way down from Park City. Peddaled acroos the open plain to Promintory, and then costed again down to Wanship. Had a tail wind most of that distance, but as we began riding towards Hoytsville, picked up a head wind. By the time we reached Coalville we were exhausted. At 42 miles, the sun was getting to us and we started feeling nausia. We hit the 50 mile mark and had no water left. Bring lots of water if you do this trail in the summer. You'll be in the sun most of the time. Use a very high Sun Block (SPF 30, or 45) to protect yourself from the intense sun. We did it, and it was a beautiful trail, but the winds can be tough, so prepare well! Both my son and I drank over a gallon of water on this trip, so again, bring a big (100 oz?) Camelback.

One more note, it took us 5 hours and 45 minutes to ride 50 miles on this trail. Not bad for 40 year old out-of-shape Scout Master and an energetic 11 year old Boy Scout! I think kids will definitely enjoy a shorter version of this trip! :-)"
