I call this a gravel loop, but we rode it on our mountain bikes to be safe…and more comfortable. We modified a loop that was used for the Tinker Classic gravel race a few years ago. Our loop cut...
Twickenham Gravel
Derek and I first rode this mixed gravel/paved route back in 2016 and loved it. Since then, Dirty Freehub has produced a modified route that adds on a section down to Priest Hole and around. It’s a great route...
Spring Mountain Gravel Route
Derek found another gravel exploration option for us to explore close to where we are boondocking. We road mountain bikes on this lollipop ride since we weren’t sure of what we would find. Our ride was 23.6 miles with...
Catherine Creek South Fail
Our friends at Dirty Freehub had a proposed gravel route that needed vetting so we checked it out. We broke it into two separate loops and rode the first loop the other day and posted about it here. The...
Catherine Creek Gravel Ride
There are a maze of gravel roads and old logging roads around La Grande. We let our mountain bikes rest a day and rode our gravel bikes on a remote loop. Our loop ride was 27.9 miles with 2716′...
Butte Gravel Ride

Palisades Gravel Ride
After taking a week off from riding, we eased back in with a gravel ride from our boondocking spot out along the west side of Palisades Reservoir. Our ride was an out and back of 22.4 miles with 2090′...
Wild Horse Canyon
We are boondocking right off the Wild Horse Canyon Road that runs between Green River and the highway east of Rock Springs. For our last day in Green River we rode out and back on the gravel road to...
Temple Mountain Gravel Loop
We already posted about the mountain bike trails in Goblin Valley State Park, which unfortunately are the only real mountain bike trails nearby. There are a lot of off-road (OHV) routes around here that are popular with the jeep...
Smith Mesa Gravel Ride
Wow! We hit the scenery and solitude jackpot with this part paved and part gravel/dirt road ride. Our ride up Smith Mesa, around the backside of Zion and down Kolob Terrace was around 33 miles with 3079′ of climbing....
