National Trails Day

Today, we decided to come celebrate the 20th Anniversary of National Trails Day, in Park City's Round Valley with the Mountain Trails Crew. Round Valley is where we do most of our cross-country mountain biking and we love that convenient network of single track trails that starts less than one mile from our front door.

While another group gathered in nearby Glenwild, near Kimball Junction, we found ourselves at about 8 am with 50 other volunteers and after coffee, bagels and instructions, we were busy cutting the new “Ramble on” trail, named after the famous song by Led Zeppelin, that should be open in one month from now.

The overcast skies were a godsend and we worked till about noon, hoeing the path, cutting roots, removing rocks and raking the soil into a smooth trail. Not the usual intellectual work some of us prefer to do! At noon, tired and dirty we went back home but we had plenty of fun and loved the experience. See you all next year!
