Parley’s trail begins within the intersection of Interstates 80 and 215 BeltLoop as it T’s off the the Bonneville Shoreline Trail. It quickly drops down into Parley’s Nature Preserve - which is the only real piece of nature you’ll encounter along this Uber Urban trail. From there you’ll closely follow interstate 80 into Sugarhouse Park then after winding through Sugarhouse business district the trail becomes aligned with the UTA S-Line light rail east to South Salt Lake. From here the trail meanders with often poor signage along city streets until it joins year another UTA light rail line (Green Line) as it crosses rail yards, interstate exchanges and finally meets its end as it T’a into the Jordan River Trail.
The local media has been covering its completion so we went and checked it out. There are some obscure spots where better signage would have helped to navigate. We started on the east end, Grandeur Peak Trailhead. Going west you stay south of I-215 until 1700 East, where you cross to the north side of the freeway and follow the south and west edge of Sugarhouse Park where the trail goes under 1300 East. Just past the sugar beet statue, turn left out onto Wilmington Avenue.
We rode this trail today from Coalville to Park City and back. It's a nice ride and the noise from i80 was not as bad as we expected.
I saw some comments about cracks in the trail, and there certainly are. I ride a Mountain Bike - Ebike. The trail is significantly better than riding on the rocks and dirt. I like that once I am across 13th East and join the trail I don't have to cross a road and face auto traffic until after I am into Lehi. Great connecter to Utah County. There are streets to cross in the first mile or two, but once you are passed those, there is a lot to ride along.
Winds into Utah county (heading south) can be pretty strong, so just be aware, but when you ride back, you probably won't feel them.
I have enjoyed the rides and it is nice to see the Valley from a slightly elevated view. I also appreciate the 1/4 mile markings on the road to keep my brain engaged. Is it perfect? Not really, do I like it...well yes I do. Is it a good way to stay out of traffic? Yes it is.
Would I ride it on a recumbent bike, I don't think I would, pretty hard to be seen crossing 13200 south and then eventually 1300 East.
I was scared being a single woman alone! Homeless people and not being used by many others. Industrial area no pretty. South part of trail much better.
Speaking more of the people you’re going to encounter on this trail and getting to this trail esp. from downtown. First and last time for me.
Trail is well paved. Crosses a lot of streets, so not a great flow for riding/blading.
My wife and I made it a trip from South Jordan to Thanksgiving point ate lunch and back. It was wonderful beautiful weather easy ride.
It so fun to walk or bike! We do a few family things including a moon light walk a few days before the the full moon.
Great for walking or bike riding. Every summer I plan a "Moon light walk" with my family a few days before a full moon. Usually on a weekend. It's so much fun!
This is a great ride with beautiful scenery but…the last leg after going through Coalville is a carpet of “goat head puncture weeds” so you had better have very puncture resistant tires on your bike. This trail really needs some love from whoever is charged with caring for it. I have never seen so many puncture weeds on one trail. My friend had to replace both inter tubes after our ride.
