The Team Helping Your Trails SLC Composite Highschool MTB

by

As Mountain Trails Foundation looks into the future, we are happy to see the next generation of trail stewards. The Salt Lake Composite Mountain Bike Team is a great example of how high school mountain bike programs benefit our trails.

Not only did the team come out to numerous, regularly scheduled Thursday dig days, they also made a large donation in recognition of the time and effort it takes for us to host these events. Beyond these tangible benefits, high school mountain bike teams teach the “soft skills” we wish every rider knew. Yielding as a group, distributing users, and practicing kindness are deliberate characteristics of the team dynamic.

We hope you will join us in thanking these teams as we celebrate the next generation of trail advocates.

Welcome “Roy”

by

It’s official, the new groomer has a name, Roy! Short for corduroy, the name received 44% of the 700 votes cast via the engage Park City website. This Pisten Bully 100 snowcat will be used to groom Bonanza Flat and Round Valley (conditions permitting).

Our collective thanks for this amazing piece of equipment should be given to the Summit County RAP tax grant and the Park City Municipal team who successfully secured funding.

910 Ranch Acquisition 

by

From The Summit County Website

The 910 Ranch is one of the last contiguous mountain ranches privately held by a single landowner in western Summit County and the Snyderville Basin area. The ranch is home to an extraordinary variety of wildlife including birds, large mammals, and fish… and recreational opportunity. 

While Summit County will obtain immediate control of the property, the area will remain private property until further notice to allow for comprehensive planning; accordingly, the County requests the public to respect the landowner’s private property and remain on East Canyon Road (NE Canyon Rd) while enjoying the area. Opportunities for public guided tours are forthcoming, but hunting will remain unlawful at all times.

HISTORY OF THE PROPERTY

In 1890, Thomas E. Jeremy Jr. started acquiring more than 22,000 acres for use as a family farm and sheep ranching operation. The land was owned and operated by the Jeremy family for four generations from 1860-1979. In 1977, 12,500 acres of the ranch were sold and developed into a championship golf course and residential neighborhood. “Jeremy Ranch” is now a household name among area residents with a clubhouse, an elementary school branded with the historic ranch name, and over 700 single-family homes and 1,000 condominiums.

The original Jeremy family homestead residence on East Canyon Rd., known as the Jeremy Ranch Stone Cabin, still resides on what is now known as the 910 Cattle Ranch, the remaining acreage from the original Jeremy Ranch footprint. This small stone cabin was was the original residence and used by the Jeremy family each summer while grazing sheep.

Come out and play

by

What does a perfect morning in Round Valley look like? Thanks to our friend and fellow trail lover, Ross Downard we have captured the essence of our beloved playground on a cold winter day.

Starting with shots of our trail crew and followed by the trail shenanigans, we hope this video is the motivation you need to get out and celebrate our good fortune to have Round Valley as our place to share.

These activities (and video) were made possible by the collaboration of a grateful community. Individuals, businesses, and organizations who take part in supporting trails and our access to them.

From all of us at Mountain Trails Foundation, THANK YOU! We look forward to seeing you out there and to many more mornings like these.
