Union Pacific Rail Trail

A wonderful ride on the Historic Union Pacific Rail Trail.  We saw cows, horses, a fox, a cat, song birds, and lamas, as we rode by farm land.   God blessed us with a solar eclipse this evening at 7:29pm.  Some of us ate out at Park City after the ride, and viewed the partial solar eclipse.
