Union Pacific Rail Trail

Wonderful bike ride with Jesus! One biker shared some sliced watermelon. What a great idea! 

WANSHIP RAIL TRAIL PARKING

WANSHIP TO PROMONTORY 

DESCRIPTION: Wanship makes a great place to begin the Rail Trail. Riding through town, you'll see sheep and lamas. Leaving town, you'll cross wooden bridges, watch lazy cows, and see I-80. The first 6 miles is a gentle climb; then the trail levels out. There are shaded picnic tables to take breaks. Promontory has a restroom and is a great place for a break. The ride back to Wanship is exhilarating, unless you have a head wind.
