PARK CITY, Utah — Mountain Trails Foundation has released its 2026 trail maps, offering hikers, mountain bikers and other users a detailed guide to Park City’s extensive trail network.

The maps are designed to help users plan routes and discover less familiar areas of the trail system, MTF Resource Manager Ian Hartley said.

“With so many options, the maps make it easier to develop routes, providing a perspective far more expansive than a phone screen,” Hartley said.

The set includes two maps covering the Park City trail system. The Old Town and Overview map shows the broader network from Bloods Lake to Summit Park, along with a closer view of Old Town and the Treasure Hill area.

The Round Valley and Snyderville Basin map includes Round Valley, Skyridge, Clark Ranch, Lost Prospector, Trailside and other areas east of U.S. 40. The reverse side covers areas including Discovery Ridge, Glenwild, Summit Park and Utah Olympic Park.

The 2026 edition marks the first year Hartley led the map project and the first collaboration with cartographer Buck Ehler, who worked with longtime graphic designer Scott Collett. Local cartographer Jay Hill had overseen much of the mapping work during the previous eight years.

The maps are printed on tear- and water-resistant material. Sponsorship support from Skyridge and Deer Valley helps offset production costs, Hartley said.

Recurring donors receive a new map set and Mountain Trails Foundation membership sticker each year. Maps may also be purchased with a one-time donation through the organization’s website. The initial shipment has been mailed, and additional maps will be distributed to bicycle shops around Park City once the remaining order arrives.

The map covers feature photographs by Margot Taylor and Emma Garrard, the winners of Mountain Trails Foundation’s annual photo contest. Taylor’s image appears on the Old Town and Overview map, while Garrard’s photograph is featured on the Round Valley and Basin map.

Mountain Trails Foundation builds, maintains, and protects nonmotorized trails throughout the Park City area. The nonprofit also provides trail conditions, maps and education while working with landowners and government agencies to maintain public access.
