We left Nevada and found our next 2 week spot by St. George, Utah. I think the last time I rode the Santa Clara River Reserve Trails in St. George may have been 2008. We rode different trails this time and had an awesome time. From the Cove Wash Trailhead, we set out on a …
There were a couple things we wanted to do up in the Tony Grove area but the entire road is closed until July 1 so we had to skip the hike to Naomi Peak. We altered Bunchgrass White Pine Lake to be an out and back instead of a loop. Our ride was 17.5 miles …
Most of the time we try to find boondocking spots near all the riding and hiking we want to do so that we don’t have to drive much. This spot allows us to do just that. Again, we rode from camp on a fun route of 15.3 miles with 2178’ of climbing. We started out …
Old Ephraim was the last and said to be largest grizzly bear in Utah (as far as anyone knows). The grizzly allegedly did quite a bit of damage to sheep herds and after 10 years of tracking, Frank Clark shot him on August 22, 1923. At the time of his death he stood almost 10 …
We took a leisurely walk up Temple Fork Trail from camp one morning. Our hike was around 6 miles and followed the creek the whole way. Past the second bridge we turned left and headed up the canyon into thicker forest. We passed by several beaver dams and lots of greenery. Sawmill Temple Fork buzzed …
With temps expected to reach 92 we got an early start and headed towards Bear Lake to ride Hodges Canyon and Richardson Fork. Our ride was 16 miles with 2614′ of climbing. These are both atv trails and nothing spectacular riding wise, but had great views. We took Richardson down and then climbed back up …
New favorite in the area! We rode Stump Hollow as a lollipop or cherry stem. Up the trail, did a loop at the top, and came back down. Our ride was 13 miles with 2031′ of climbing. The trail climbs steadily from the start and travels through shady forest of aspens and firs. It’s pretty …
From camp we hiked down to Spawn Creek Trailhead and then up Spawn Creek trail into the canyon for a couple miles. Overall our hike was around 6 miles and astonishingly we didn’t see anyone!!!!! Spawn Creek Trail heads uphill gently through grassy meadows with the creek on one side and forest on the other. …
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 …

To get to the Sink Hollow singletrack we climbed up a dirt road following alongside Beaver Creek. Pretty …
