The 9 Line Trail

Many of Salt Lake City’s trails are home to a variety of geocaches—but 9 Line is the exception. This west-side stretch doesn’t have the same level of polish you’ll find east of 900 West, but it’s relatively quiet, with minimal traffic crossings and a low-key atmosphere.

The Community Orchard

At publication, December 2025, this is a fairly new orchard. Read more if you're curious about this space.

Getting to the Cache

It’s best to approach this one on foot or by bicycle. This is close enough to the road that if you're looking for a quick park and grab you could park on Hayes Avenue or Glendale Street.

Finding this Cache

This one is pretty simple, but it is not uncommon to find someone in the area taking a short rest or even spending the whole day here. At the time of publication, police are preventing overnight camping. Trust your instincts if it does not feel safe. Try to find it without the hint, but if you're struggling, it's there if you need it.

About the 9 Line Trail

The 9 Line Trail is a paved, multi-use path that runs along 900 South in Salt Lake City. Built on a former Union Pacific rail corridor, it stretches from Redwood Road on the west to around 200 West, with bike lanes continuing east to 1100 East. It connects several neighborhoods and links to the Jordan River Parkway, downtown bike lanes, and public transit routes.

Along the way, you’ll find community gardens, a dirt-jump bike park, murals, and public art installations. The trail is named after the old “9 Line” railroad spur that once ran through the corridor. Tracks were removed in 2007, and the first section of the trail opened to the public in 2011.

Development is ongoing, with plans for bridges, wetland features, and park enhancements. The 9 Line plays a key role in Salt Lake City’s vision for green infrastructure and improved urban mobility.
