Title: Utah Trip Report
Post by: Ole Guy on September 25, 2005, 12:55:35 PM
Just got back from Zion and Bryce Canyons and a 3 day trail ride in and around Bryce Canyon.  There is nothing that I can say that would approach the thrills I had.  First day was 87 miles of trails from altitudes of 7800 to 11,500ft.  really awesome.  Rode on the Great Western Trail for a while.  This trail runs from Canada to Mexico.  The Trail boss made that whole trip on an ATV.  Some of the Outlooks were a 3000 ft drops.  Second day we trailered to Coral Pink Sand Dunes State park and rode in miles and miles of up to 300 ft dunes.  I have riden in sand pits before but nothing like this.  When you get to the top and see the shear angle of descent you say this machine and me will never make it. Third day we spent 107 miles of rocky trail riding in Black and Red Canyons.

I am in the process of printing out the digital photos.  They don't really capture the views.

Heading back to the Vegas airport I did 2 days of Geocaching in St. Georges Utah and Mesquite Nevada.  That was a hoot!!!

Trip of a lifetime...and yes it took me 65 years to do it.
