Historic Union Pacific Rail Trail State Park
Historic Union Pacific Rail Trail State Park, Rail trail in Summit County, United States.
The Historic Union Pacific Rail Trail extends 28 miles from Park City through Wanship and Coalville to Echo Reservoir along Interstate 80.
The trail follows the former Union Pacific Railroad route established in 1900, which transported silver ore from local mines through the region.
Sixteen information plaques installed by Mountain Trails Foundation present stories about early Mormon settlers and the Lincoln Highway along the path.
The trail surface combines gravel and asphalt sections, making it suitable for hiking, cycling, horseback riding, and cross-country skiing throughout the year.
Starting at 6,800 feet elevation in Park City, the trail descends through Silver Creek Canyon, where visitors encounter foxes, bald eagles, and moose.
