SW Utah Thanksgiving Week
Posted: Tue Dec 02, 2008 11:49 am
Considered a few locations to spend our Thanksgiving week vacation, but decided to explore some of the mountain biking trails in South Western Utah. Very Nice!
Day 1:
GF first time on slick rock, she made the turn.
I love it:
Had dinner at Basilas Greek ( and Italian!? ) food in St. George. Good salads, french fries, hummus , and chicken, but my 2 gyros were just ok.
Day 2:
Unreal:
Taking in the view:
Added a couple bonus trails to get my $$$'s worth.
Dinner at someplace advertising Bison Burgers:
Day 3:
Almost ate it goofing off on this interesting cattle guard near the upper trailhead:
Seemed big at the time...
Day 4:
Rain in the forecast, so we woke up at 6 am and rode a few hours not far from the motel prior to the rain storm.
Cafe Rio for dinner. Got the burrito with "hot" red sauce...very good, but not much spice.
Day 5:
Rainy. So we went hiking.
Made Thanksgiving Dinner in the microwave. It was pretty good.
Day 6:
Drive home. No traffic issues, some slowing in Vegas.
Day 7:
Recover.
Day 8:
Rode Nobel Canyon ( local trail ). Windy as hell riding up the fire road. Didn't see a single person on my loop around Laguna meadow. Nobel Canyon trail in excellent condition. Even the slog up extra credit was not too sandy.
The end.
