We followed in the tracks of history — literally. In this episode, our family explores the Transcontinental Railroad Backcountry Byway in Utah, a route that once carried locomotives across the American West and now serves up one of the most scenic and historic off-road adventures you can drive today.
From the Bonneville Salt Flats to the Golden Spike National Historic Site, we trace the path of the original transcontinental railroad, diving into stories of the workers, towns, and terrain that shaped a nation. This isn’t just a scenic drive — it’s a rolling history lesson wrapped in off-road dust.
Along the way, we:
Explore original railbeds and ghost town remnants
Visit interpretive signs packed with stories you’ve probably never heard
Show you how to drive this route yourself — and share exactly where to find the GPX track
