| Brief Trail Description |
|
The Historic Union Pacific Rail Trail is a 28-mile, high-elevation, flat trail that is mostly dirt and gravel. As it passes through the wetlands and farms near Wanship and Silver Creek Canyon, a menagerie of wildlife—including fox, bald eagles, herons, moose, deer and beaver—often appears near the trail. At the north end of the rail trail near Coalville, visitors will have a beautiful view of Echo Reservoir, a Summit County water source and hotspot for recreational boating. |
