This loop is primo backcountry singletrack that definitely makes a top notch ride. Don’t get me wrong, it was pretty tough, but very fun. We rode from camp and it was 22 miles with 3876′ of climbing. This ride required a semi-early start because the temps this week are in the 90’s. From camp we …

Wind Cave Hike is a short hike at 4 miles with 1007 feet of climbing, but well worth it for the views. This is a very popular hike in the area and even on a weekday morning we encountered a handful of groups and then at the very end, hordes of kids that I assume …
Our drive from Green River, WY to our new spot for a couple weeks in Cache National Forest was only a couple hours and we got to see a part of Utah we have not been to before. We took a chance after spotting what looked like some boondocking spots by some trails we planned …

Derek and I completed a self guided walking tour of Rock Springs, Wyoming one morning. The tour starts at the very impressive Historical Museum building, a Richardsonian Romanesque architecture masterpiece. The museum is free and worth checking out. We picked up a brochure for the tour after exploring the museum and off we went. Union …
