The Utah Division of Outdoor Recreation awarded $21 million to about 40 recreation projects across the state, including projects for the Mountain Trails Foundation and Wasatch Trails Foundation.

Mountain Trails received more than $140,000 for its adaptive trail assessment program. It’s widening and adjusting existing trails to make them more accessible to all recreators.

The Wasatch Trails Foundation received $40,000 for its Snake Creek to Soldier Hollow connector trail. The new 15-mile trail would link the north and south ends of the Heber Valley.

The Utah Legislature created the Outdoor Recreation Initiative three years ago to provide a collaborative framework for outdoor recreation planning and funding.
