Who are the Utah Spikes?

America’s East & West were connected when the ceremonial final spike was hammered into place at Promontory Summit, Utah, on May 10, 1869, marking the completion of the first transcontinental railroad. The “Driving of the Golden Spike” symbolized not just the completion of a railroad, but the unification of a nation, proving that perseverance and unity can overcome even the most daunting challenges.

Hardened by the rugged terrain and harsh seasons, a Utah Spike Deer moves with resilience and instinct proving that toughness runs deeper than a full set of antlers.

NLL UnBOXed™ & its partners have donated over 500+ pieces of equipment to 5,000+ students in the Utah Spikes community.
