Riding the Boardwalk

It was the fastest I’d ever seen him ride.

Loading up the bikes onto the van using our new King Joe Yakima rack made it all feel like an adventure. It got us out of our driveway-sidewalk-driveway rut and into a family bicycle adventure.

On this day we went to one of the many new paved bike trails in the state. The trails aren’t just for bicycling. They’re good for walking, running, skating, or pushing a stroller as well. In my opinion, they are a fantastic, yet under-used, community resource.

The trails are safe, family friendly and usually in a visually appealling or historically significant place.

Here is a start to a list of paved/maintained trails in Utah
