    Denver Rio Grande Western Trail aka Davis County Rail Trail

    This is the Rail Trail in Davis County, also known as the Denver Rio Grande Western Trail. It follows the old railroad track bed, it's now nicely paved.

    From what I hear, this now connects from Clinton, starting at the Davis / Weber County lines, and goes all the way South connecting to the Jordan River Parkway Well, we only made it to Kaysville which was still a good ride. We rode @23 miles Round Trip, here's a map and some pictures of what we rode. (we, being my 2 kids and I)

    The pavement stops exactly on the Weber County Line, and then it starts and stops a little here and there throughout Weber, but the rails are all torn out so there are probably plans to pave it.

    The section we rode heading south was in great condition, new pavement on most of it. Except for one little boo boo dispute over an unfinished railroad crossing and a slight detour that goes around, it's a very nice trail. You can see the detour in the top third of the blue line.

    Here are a ton of pictures and they're out of order, deal with it.

    shouldn't you have a "slow moving vehicle" or a "this vehicle makes wide turns" sign on the back of that rig?
    But if I agreed with you, we would both be wrong.

    Nice report. I use that trail when I ride to work from Layton to Plain City.

    Where do you leave the trail after Clinton?
