Highlight reels are fun quick snapshots of greatness and this post is just that. Derek and I just completed our third year of living and traveling full time in our trailer. Looking back on the year is fun and remembering all the great experiences is priceless. So here we go, in no particular order: Happy …
I am not a fan of crowds. I can’t stand waiting in a line and I hate driving in traffic. So we went to Yellowstone National Park for a day. It wasn’t my first time in the park, but last time I went it was probably the mid 1990’s. Derek and I spend most of …
Derek and I celebrated our 22 year wedding anniversary the other day and spent the day at Palisades Reservoir and Melvin Brewery. Palisades Reservoir was completed in 1957 to provide irrigation water, flood control, and recreation. Supposedly it supplies irrigation water to more than 1.1 million acres or about 19,000 farms. We drove right down …
While in the area we had our eye on the Phillips Canyon & Ridge Loop and we tackled it the other day. This loop started up on the pass at Phillips Trailhead. 19 miles and 3066′ of climbing. I think we’ll take next week off from riding. Arrow Trail comes off the gravel road after …
Hiking day! Today we hiked out and back on Alaska Basin Trail. If you go far enough you get to some lakes but we just wanted a couple hours of forest time. Our hike was 7 miles with around 800′ of climbing so very accessible to abilities. Alaska Basin Trail starts from Treasure Mtn Scout …
Grand Targhee Resort has enough mountain bike trails to ride several days and we spent today riding a close version of the first loop of a big 100 mile race they hold here in August. Our ride was 19.1 miles with 2517′ of climbing and we topped out at 9701′ for ridiculous views of the …
Next up is the Driggs, ID area and we found a great boondocking spot from which to launch all our activities. Between the whispering jazz hands of the aspens and the rushing sound of the creek I find myself dozing off in my chair after rides. Our first ride was right from camp up Mill …
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 Pilot Butte. Our ride was 25 miles with 1300′ of climbing. On a weekday during our …
We’re still in Green River, WY and yesterday we hooked different trails together for a 15 mile ride with 1600′ of climbing. A couple of the trails were unsanctioned but they were pretty well established and VERY fun. Finding the first trail, Kamikaze, was a bit of an adventure. Starting from the Visitor’s Center we …
The other day we rode a bunch of trails in the WIlkins Peak Trail System and today we were across the river riding a couple new ones. We started down by the river and rode the Greenbelt trail out to the singeltrack. The Green River Greenbelt in total is 12 miles of paved trail that …
