Jordan River Parkway from Center Street

JORDAN RIVER PARKWAY

The Center Street,  LEGACY PARKWAY  trailhead offers great bicycle rides to the north and to the south.  While most people ride north to Farmington,  after 1 mile ride south, the trail joins the JORDAN RIVER PARKWAY.
You'll enjoy riding by the Jordan River and by the Rose Park Golf Course.   Fall colors are incredible too.

Silver Quinn Parkway

The SILVER QUINN trail in Park City has been paved.   It used to be a dirt double track (dirt road).   The trail runs along the side of US 40, between exit 2 to the Medical Center, near Round Valley.
Mountain bikers can take RUSTY SHOVEL up the hill to RAMBLER or NO WHERE ELKS.

RUSTY SHOVEL also makes a good downhill trail with well made switchbacks and only a few rocky areas.   This is a moderate ride up the hill too. 
NO WHERE ELKS is a fun, moderate technical ride to the VALDEROAD.  
SOME WHERE ELKS is a more rocky intermediate technical ride down the eastern side to MATT's FLAT near Round Valley.

DON'T WORRY, BE HAPPY

Jesus said,  "Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; nor about the body, what you will put on.  Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing."   

Luke 12:22-23 NKJV

Jesus commands us not to worry; but to put our faith and trust in Him

God provides for the birds; will He not provide for you?

"Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap, which have neither storehouse nor barn; and God feeds them.  Of how much more value are you than the birds?"
Luke 12:24 NKJV

Worrying accomplishes nothing.  
"And which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?  If you then are not able to do the least why are you anxious for the rest?"  Luke 12:25-26 NKJV

God dresses the meadows with colorful flowers; will he not clothe you?
"Consider the lilies, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. If then God so clothes the grass, which today is in the field and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will He clothe you, O you of little faith?"   

Luke 12:27-28 NKJV

People groups of the world are seeking first basic things in life; food, clothing and shelter.  God want us to seek first after Him and receive His righteousness; and God will be our provider.
"And do not seek what you should eat or what you should drink, or have an anxious mind.  For all these things the nations of the world seek after and your Father knows that you need these things." Luke 12:29-30 NKJV

"But seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added."  Matthew 6:33 NKJV
