Denver and Rio Grande Western Rail Trail

beautiful gated ride

November, 2024 by davidploehn

This is a beautiful ride, but so many gates make it unbearable. Will not do it again.

Denver and Rio Grande Western Rail Trail

Unexpectedly nice trail but….The Barriers!!

October, 2024 by barbscondo

We started at Ellison Park. Rode thru the park and a short distance on sidewalk and easily hit the trail. Ride about 6-7 miles south. Nice trail with more shade than expected but nowhere to stop at a picnic bench. Trail in between beautiful houses with interesting back yards. Sadly not a trail I would do again because of the zig zag barriers at every street. Had to walk bikes through them. Really not necessary as the streets were not busy ones. The barriers were more of a hazard themselves.

Murdock Canal Trail

Utah’s Prettiest Bike Pathway

September, 2024 by roger.cottle

Fall 2024, this nicely completed trail meanders behind the backyards of north-east Utah Valley. Bridges, tunnels and simple road crossings dot the trail with beautiful mountain & valley views.

Denver and Rio Grande Western Rail Trail

Great pavement and super safe area

July, 2024 by tcmrryrb6g

Definitely an old railroad trail. Great Mountain views throughout. Walked in the middle of the afternoon on a very hot day, but there were great breezes throughout.

Clearfield Canal Trail

Clearfield Canal

July, 2024 by cg6fr7kh8d

Full sun. No direct parking but LDS Church vey nearby (in the morning shaded parking for a cool car when you return). To complete the whole path, you have to cross a couple of roads, including a busy highway, but cross walks nearby. One of those places you can enjoy the beauty of a more urban path. HAFB nearby, so you can see the jet against the mountains. All and all- not Bad

Jordan River Parkway Trail

Great stretch of Trail

July, 2024 by hchristopherheath

48 great miles of various riding terrane and features. Many parks along the path more concentrated in the city.

I would say that the section between General Holm Park and N Temple is a bit sketchy in spots but I never really felt in any danger; only a bit disconcerted. I saw the police in those areas clearing out the people loitering and sleeping along the rail.

21st Street Pond Trail

21 St. Pond Trail

July, 2024 by 4thebline

It's pretty nice most the way along! I go walking there quite a lot, when it's not too hot! I stop and take pictures of the pond, and also of the ducks, as well.

Porter Rockwell Trail

Don't Stop There

June, 2024 by rebraun44

I've ridden this trail on numerous occasions. I have a lot to say about it. First, let me say that I'm speaking to bikers; the trail would be too much for walkers and joggers. I've tried starting on the Porter Rockwell trail at the Northern most point, but, after several tries, I've concluded that the best spot to start is at Draper Park. There's good parking, bathrooms and an easy to find starting-out point. From the Park, of course it is a shorter route, but DON'T stop at the end of Porter Rockwell! Just continue straight ahead. The trail takes on a different name, and shortly thereafter, it moves away from Rte I-15 and gives you an awesome view of the activity on top of Point of the Mountain. The trail then continues along new housing on your left, and expansive views on the right. But again, don't stop. The trail goes past a relatively new tech building, and then, when it says End of Trail, turn right, go down the hill (go slowly, it is pretty steep), and follow the path to a new bridge (for bikes, etc., but not for motor vehicles) that crosses the #92 highway, and connects with the Murdock Canal Trail (for those of you who'd like to do another 18 miles one-way). Try it, I guarantee you'll love it. One more thing; the path is paved all the way, and is in excellent condition.

Jordan River Parkway Trail

Great Trail EXCEPT SLC

May, 2024 by texasfan11

Most of this trail is great and peaceful. The only real watchout is parts of the trail in Salt Lake City. There are many homeless encampments and groups of people doing drugs out in the open (especially around North Temple). This was May 2024. The trail directly south of Salt Lake can get confusing at times as the signage is not great. Other than that it's a great trail that follows the Jordan river.

Legacy Parkway Trail

Our favorite trail

April, 2024 by joshua.w.schulze

We absolutely love riding this trail. It’s the perfect length for our family rides. I have a 7yr and 5yr old and they love the change ins scenery, cool tunnels, roadside playgrounds, and places to eat in Farmington when we are done. Sometimes my 7yr old rides his own r-bike, the trail is plenty wide enough and very well maintained. Some parts don’t have shade and some do, which is normal from what I’ve experienced. It’s full paved so nothing harsh on the bike. It’s our go to trail!

Jordan River Parkway Trail

pretty and calm

March, 2024 by 5jd2sskj4s

Great little walk, a part of the riverton side was flooded but we just walked the other side instead. Very nice.
