Weber Pathways’ 11th Annual National Trails Day: Connecting Communities Weber Pathways is joining with the Ogden Trails Network, the Weber-Morgan Health Department, and RAMP to host its 11th annual National Trails Day on Saturday, June 6 at the Ogden City Kayak Park. This year we are celebrating two new miles of the Weber River Parkway that have been linked through three major connections: the West Haven Underpass, the Stockyards Bridge, and the Utah Central Underpass. We’re also kicking off RAMP’s summer of free weekend activities. You are invited to see and explore the culmination of decades of dreams, diligence and determination of many individuals and groups. Miles of the Ogden and Weber River Parkways have been built, and then connected over the years. The connections are the most difficult and costly portions of trails, but are vital to continuous corridors that link many people with a variety of recreational opportunities for all ages and abilities.
