Round Valley Improvements Underway 

by

You might have noticed that we’ve begun work on Round Valley Express. Our goal is to improve existing trails to create a safe, and sustainable soft-surface pathway connection through Round Valley. This project will provide a myriad of long-term, year-round benefits in our beloved open space.

Round Valley is bisected by double-track trails which can be combined to form a contiguous route from Quinn’s Round Valley trailhead to Highland Drive. Many of these old trails are the original farm roads which have become rutted and off-camber. These conditions present safety concerns and make winter grooming in low snow conditions more difficult. Notably, a significant portion of Round Valley Express has degraded to the point of being unusable.   

The long-term solution is to improve these trails to a consistent, contiguous, 8-10 ft wide, compacted surface. We will also reroute an existing “fall-line” trail segment to enhance sustainability, ease grooming effort and improve user experience. Finally, we will rehabilitate and restore old and unused sections of the trail to allow for the return of native vegetation.

This Mountain Trails Foundation project is funded by the Summit County RAP Tax Grant and made possible in collaboration with Park City Municipal’s Trails and Open Space Department, Summit Land Conservancy and the support of generous donors.

We aim to have this project completed before the first of July. During construction, you may encounter equipment on the trails, primarily in the Round Valley Express trail corridor and Highland Drive trailhead area. Please give equipment and operators a wide berth and respect closures.

2025 Regional Trails Mixer

by

May 5, 2025 from 5-8pm

Do you wonder as you wander? About the world of trails, who does what and how? Well, wonder no more; come out and meet the heroes of the trails and open spaces you love at the 3rd annual Regional Trails Mixer.

From the Park City Fire Department (PCFD) to the Wasatch Trails Foundation (WTF), all the acronyms you love will be there to share their missions, history, and plans for the future. Last year, we hosted 20 local organizations and 250 guests at the Legacy Lodge. Friendly faces, “free” food, and a cash bar (don’t forget your ID) create the perfect environment to learn and connect.

Plan to bring your friends and family; the more, the merrier. Join us in thanking Vail’s EpicPromise Foundation for providing the site free of charge. Although free, we hope that each attendee will consider making a $5 donation to cover food costs.

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.
