Mountain Trails Foundation launches Park City Trails Resource Page
PARK CITY, Utah — The extensive network of trails in the Park City area amounts to 400 miles of trails. To help the public navigate and enjoy using them, the Mountain Trails Foundation has launched a new website dedicated to providing local and visiting trail users with up-to-date information such as current condition reports, interactive wayfinding tools, live feed to trailhead cameras, suggested routes, individual trail data, and other information.
“As population and visitation along the Wasatch Back have grown, managing outdoor recreation assets has become a priority,” said Lora Smith, Mountain Trails Foundation executive director. “Promoting responsible trail use and dispersing trail users across the trail system are the most effective strategies we have for preserving Park City’s world-class trail experience.”
“In order to make good trail choices, trail users, both local and visiting, need accurate, timely information. The Trails Resource Page provides that information. With 400 miles of trails and widespread infrastructure, the Trails Resource is a colossal undertaking and is supported by the trails and open space leaders in the Park City community.”
The Trail Resource page information is provided through a coordinated effort between the Mountain Trails Foundation, Snyderville Basin Recreation Special Service District, Park City Municipal, Utah Open Lands, and Summit Land Conservancy. Park City Mountain, Deer Valley Resort, Utah Olympic Park, and other landowners will also work to be a part of the process in providing accurate and current information on trails.
Funding for the project is being provided by the Park City Chamber and Vistor’s Bureau’s Sustainable Tourism Plan.
