October 2021 Trail Updates

The Board of Directors, in cooperation with Salt Lake County and several local municipalities, continues to work on completing the last unfinished segments of the East/West portion of the trail. Salt Lake County will begin soliciting bids to complete the 900 West to Jordan River Trail section of the trail this month.

One initiative that has been well received and supported is the Goathead Removal Project. Many private citizens have joined the Board in working to control and eliminate the invasive goathead weed from the Trail’s edges. Tribulus terrestris (aka goatheads, puncture vine, or the apt Devil’s Weed) thrives in flat, dry areas. As it matures, it drops four-sided thorned seeds that are a scourge to feet, paws, and tires. Please consider adopting a small section of the Trail and help us defeat this menace.
