Mining History

 

The Early Prospectors

For years the Union Pacific railroad hauled coal from the mines in Coalville to the silver mines in Park City. Now the rails have been removed and the deep deposits of coal dust have been graded and covered with a base to create Utah's first rail trail. Hikers, bikers, and horseback riders can take the trail all the way from Park City to Echo Reservoir.
