Shaded Running Trails in Utah

Utah has 198 trails with shade and tree cover in this directory, across 67 cities and towns — Salt Lake City, Logan, Ogden, Layton and 63 more. Tree cover for summer miles, when an exposed path turns into a heat trap.

Labels come from each trail's own listing, its website and runners' reviews. Conditions change with the weather and the season, and gates and lights follow the park's own hours, so check a recent review before you drive out.
