| This website is associated
with the Governor's Olympic Legacy for Trails in Utah Initiative,
created in response to Utahns asking for more and better trails. The
State Division of Parks and Recreation and its partners are working
to assist in the development and improvement of both motorized and
non-motorized trails and pathways throughout the state. The overall
objective is to improve the quality of life in Utah through a quality
system of trails. Such a system will not only benefit Utah's residents,
and visiting tourists, but also potentially attract professionals,
companies, and corporations from outside the state to boost Utah’s
economic momentum over the long term. This Trails Toolbox Website
is part of that effort.
The Steering Committee of the Governor's Olympic Legacy for Trails
in Utah Initiative approved Utah State University's Institute for
Outdoor Recreation and Tourism’s proposal to develop a web-based
Trails Toolbox. The Committee identified the development and provision
of a “dynamic trails tool box” as an important step
in establishing an Olympic Legacy for Trails in Utah. This Trails
Toolbox is designed to provide a variety of information and resources
related to trails, including such topics as planning, design, construction,
funding, social benefits, and much more.
