Riding the Historic Union Pacific Rail Trail in Utah

Great ride report, Emily! Lower Main Street in Park City was constructed relatively recently, and I understand the "Disneylandish" impressions. Upper Main Street is more authentic.

Interesting! I honestly didn't know if it was new construction or just extensively renovated, but new construction seemed more likely as in towns that are more historic, you tend to see more brick and stone buildings instead of all that painted wood, at least in cities I'm familiar with. It was very pretty, but just lacked some "grit" that I like in my downtown areas. For example, Hillsborough is one of my very favorite towns in North Carolina, where I'm from. It's super historic and just gorgeous to me:
