Old Train Tracks Transformed into Awesome Walking Trail






I am very fortunate to have near my house, a terrific walking/biking trail. It used to be the sight of some old rail road tracks. UTA owns the property and has removed the tracks and paved it for the express purpose of a public walking trail. It runs from Layton south to Farmington, maybe beyond, I've never ventured that far. I'm still recovering from arthritis (as a result of knee surgery), so I only walk about a mile a day. But the scenery is beautiful and the access is easy. It beats a treadmill by leaps and bounds. I know that it is also becoming a favorite spot for bikers. If you every get the chance, you should check it out. I've posted some pictures for you to get a taste of what I mean. My favorite one is of this huge pumpkin patch. I took the photos on October 16. Today they still have not harvested all of the pumpkins. All I can say is, they'd better hurry. Halloween is next week, and who wants to buy pumpkins after Halloween?
