Uintah County commissioners voted Nov. 26 to approve amendments to the county Trails Master Plan, adding language for vertical trails and updating the plan’s priority lists.

Community Development staff presented the change, saying the Dino Trails Committee recommended the amendments and that the planning commission held a noticed public hearing in October and then again in November; the November planning commission hearing produced a unanimous recommendation for approval with no public comments recorded on the matter. A commissioner moved to approve Resolution 11-25-2024 R1; the motion passed by unanimous voice vote.

Why it matters: Staff said the amendments add direction for vertical-trail uses and revise prioritized trail projects, which will inform county planning and coordination with stakeholders engaged in recreation and trail development.

Details: The item was discussed in the commission’s work session prior to the hearing. No public comments were recorded at the commission meeting on the Trails Master Plan amendment.
