After decades of conservation, planning, and partnership, the long-awaited Ranch to Ridge trail is nearing completion! Utah Open Lands and Basin Recreation are excited to share this milestone and are jointly asking trail users to exercise caution, particularly as we enter the shoulder season. We ask everyone to use the trail thoughtfully and with respect for the land, wildlife and conservation values it was created to protect. Users are asked to use the designated park-and-ride lot off Kilby Road for trail access and parking, not Ecker Hill Middle School.

And, thank you to Creative Trails for their trail boots on the ground work. We’re looking forward to celebrating this incredible community investment in spring 2027, once the trail has stabilized!
