Built as part of the Legacy Parkway in 2008, the paved Legacy Parkway Trail follows the Legacy Parkway from North Salt Lake to Farmington The trail is a gem, offering easy access for bikers, walkers, runners, and others For most of its length, the trail is within a stone's throw of the highway, which detracts a bit from the ambiance, but views of the Wasatch Mountains, Antelope Island, and wetlands around the Great Salt Lake make up for the highway noise The trail, on its southern end, connects to the Jordan Parkwa...

17 Room Ruin was one of the first ruins I visited on my first trip to Bluff in the late 1990's Back then, an old wooden swinging bridge provided easy access from near Bluff to cross the San Juan River and hike over to the ruin Sadly, the swinging bridge washed out, and now visiting the site requires a bit of a drive but not much of a hike Though I hadn't visited in a couple of decades, the ruin was every bit as spectacular as I remembered it Perched in an overhang looking north across the flood plain to the San Jua...
