Mustang Loop Trail System

placeholder

In 2021 the Board of Trustees for Western Wyoming Community College donated land to local organizations to construct a multi-use mountain biking, hiking, and running trail system, located behind the College’s residence halls. By fall 2022 the main trail, Mustang Loop, was complete. Mustang Loop is a green trail and is 42 inches wide, making it Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) accessible throughout. The trail is designed for everyone’s recreational usage.

“Sweetwater Trails Alliance (SWTA) is excited to create the Gateway Boulevard trail - the first of what we hope to be many multi-user trails in the area. ...”— Randall Dale, SWTA member and project lead

In the Spring of 2022 four additional connector trails were added for advanced bikers; two are coded blue and the other two are coded black. Local volunteers cut, groomed, and built the bridges for the trail. Thanks to their efforts the initial trail, spanning 2.7 miles, has now grown to almost 5 miles of trails. With the design of the trails recreation goers can design a path system that works best for them.

The trail system is open to students, visitors, and community members alike. With 300 tons of road base, the trail is accessible year-round, offering a space to enjoy outdoor recreation in the middle of town. In addition to biking, hiking, and running, during the winters when there is enough snow, the trail can also be used for cross-country skiing.
