Park City will cut the ribbon on a 7-mile Historic Mine Route during the Miners Day Parade on Monday, Sept. 7, adding a permanent self-guided trail to a celebration now in its 130th year.
The route, developed by Friends of Ski Mountain Mining History, connects 24 historic mining sites across town with more than 80 wayfinding signs, interpretive panels and a free GPS-triggered audio guide featuring local historians. The nonprofit launched a companion website with maps, trail options and FAQs ahead of the opening.
The ribbon cutting takes place at the parade, which steps off at 11 a.m. on Main Street, according to TownLift. Main Street and Park Avenue close from 6 a.m. to 1 p.m. for the parade, the Park Record reported.
The weekend's events begin Friday.
