Yes I can see it having hot surfaces on really sunny days, but there are also places in park that are shaded for kids (tire swing under play platform, the shuttle kids can climb, lemonade stand...). The story behind the park is so amazing. The one thing I've noticed since going is one of slides is missing the ending piece so it kind of drops off. That being said I've seen children navigate it just fine.

I'm sure most Americans were taught at least a little bit about the transcontinental railroad and…read morePromontory Point and I remember it from my elementary school education, but how many people can say they've been to the spot where the historic railroad was completed? I've been to the California State Railroad Museum in Sacramento and seen the start of the "west" end of this railroad and while I'm just a passive railroad fan, visiting Promontory was one of those places that is worth seeing if only once. I missed the anniversary of the railroad's completion by a couple of weeks (May 10) but at least I got to see it in the same month. It took about an hour and a half to get here from Salt Lake City and my GPS had no trouble getting a signal and leading me here and back to the city. Once you get off I-15 and head towards Corinne there are a lot of signs pointing you in the right direction. You pay the entry fee at the visitor's center and it only cost $10 for a single person. The website says entry fees are paid by credit card only but the gift shop takes both card and cash. There isn't much to do in this particular area - you can look around the visitor's center at the exhibits, browse the gift shop, and watch the locomotives roll in. During the summer season the Jupiter and the No. 119 pull in at 10am and 10:30am respectively and a park ranger gives a little bit of information about the site and the railroad's historical significance. There are also volunteers in period-specific attire to guide visitors and take pictures. The trains get moved in the afternoon but most of the visitors cleared out by 11am. Getting a picture of the marker where the last rail tie was laid to complete the railroad was pretty much my reason for visiting the site. Later in the day I went a few miles east to the Big Fill Trail. This is a walking trail that leads to a section of land where the transcontinental railroad once crossed over a ravine. It was bypassed in the early 1900s and then the remaining pieces of the railroad were cannibalized for raw materials during WWII. You can walk across Big Fill and it's hard to believe that a railroad use to be here, without the signs it just looks like a small hill. Walking across a piece of history was interesting. The views of the valley were nice and along the southern part of the trail loop is a small rock shelter (looks like a little cave) to stop and rest for a few minutes. The trail was about a mile and a half and took me a little less than an hour to hike but I didn't stop to linger for too long at any specific point, otherwise I might have been here for an hour and a half or longer. I was the only visitor at the time so it was nice to have the place to myself for a little while. Would I visit the park again? Not as my primary destination, but I would try to stop by if I happened to be in the area again. I didn't go on the west side audio tour because it wasn't open yet and I skipped the east side audio tour because I was running out of time and needed to get back to SLC. Both tours are accessible by vehicle and you can download a guide to hear about points of interest as you drive through the park.

Golden Spike National Historical Park is a captivating place to visit, especially if you're…read moreinterested in the history of the transcontinental railroad. Although the original Jupiter and No. 119 locomotives were scrapped long ago, the replicas built in the 1970s are impressive. The replica locomotives are brightly painted, beautifully detailed, and a highlight of the park. The museum's exhibits do a great job explaining the engineering challenges, cultural impact, and enormous effort involved in connecting the United States by railroad. When you stand outside in this remote, rugged landscape, it underscores how difficult building this railroad must have been. Overall, Golden Spike National Historical Park is an educational and memorable stop for history enthusiasts, families, or anyone exploring northern Utah.

There was literally not another soul on this trail today and being terrified of hiking alone, I was a little skeptical. No need, Nervous Nellie, this easy 1 mile walk is a piece of cake. Would be perfect for kids. Or someone who is trying to avoid work for an hour, let's say. Lots of shade, breezy and no treacherous aspects. Wooded in parts, little streams, flocks of dragonflies. Lizards. Ants. Very well maintained and safe. I went farther than the trail indicated, but not far enough to see if anything really amazing was at the end, before I realized I needed to be in a meeting and high tailed it back to my vehicle. Oops. A few other trails here that looked great too - nice views of the surrounding mountains and valley.

They even have a new official lacrosse field, I think, at the far southeast end. I saw them practicing but didn't walk over there to verify it. It's an oddly laid out, meandering park due to various additions over the decades, and much of it is hidden from the road.
