Donate now to help fund the first phase of the Heber Halo!

UPDATE! We are well underway with our feasibility study for Phase 1! Working with Legend Engineering has been an absolute treat as they have gone above and beyond our wildest expectations. We still have a long way to go and we're working our hardest to get there with your support! Help us reach out goal to acquire the cash match for our grant applications.

The Wasatch Trails Foundation is seeking funding to support the planning of a 25+ mile connector trail that would link the north and south ends of Heber Valley — from Maple Grove or the Pine Canyon area to the Deer Creek Trail, just south of Soldier Hollow. This trail would serve as a key segment in our growing regional trail system, offering multi-use, backcountry trail access through scenic and currently underutilized areas. It would also create future opportunities to connect west-side neighborhoods into the broader backcountry network.

This trail also marks the first phase of the Wasatch Trails Foundation’s long-term vision known as the "Heber Halo" — a backcountry trail system designed to encircle the entire Heber Valley. The goal of this initiative is to make trail access easier and more consistent, so that no matter where you live in the valley, you’re always have access to a trailhead. By eventually linking neighborhoods, communities, and outdoor destinations through a continuous loop, the Heber Halo will enhance recreation, access to outdoor spaces, and regional connectivity. This initial connector trail lays the groundwork for that vision and represents a critical first step toward building a more accessible and connected trail system for all.
