Some nice “affordable” Visionary townhomes will look great right there
The fight over public lands is ongoing. The leaders of the state of Utah think that public lands should be sold to developers, mining, oil and gas interests for the sake of more state revenue. Personally, I’ve seen way to many no trespassing signs, defunct trails and fences or gates in my life to believe that the loss of any public lands is a good

Which canyon?
I rode Providence and then had to get back into cell range. I figured I would ride up on the Bonneville Shoreline trail to take the call. Then since I was there I decided to ride over to Millville canyon. Since I was there I thought I’d just go up to the gate. When I got to the gate it seemed a shame to not

It’s a hot canyon but a Dry Canyon so it’s not that bad

Sea of gold
I saw another rider do this loop on Strava. I had heard rumors of the wildflowers so I wanted to follow in their footsteps. This was to be a slightly technical climb with mind blowing visual rewards.

Way down we go
It’s funny how photos never capture elevation changes. That is a ten foot drop into a ravine that is part of the upper loop in Providence. It’s fun. This morning I managed 59:30 from my house to the very top of the trail just below the old quarry. It nearly killed me. My legs complained on every subsequent loop. I wouldn’t trade it. Nothing beats
Family ride
Saturday ride with the wife and kids. The ride – Logan, UT, United States The bike – Ripmo
It’s been a really long time
I bought my first mountain bike (as an adult) back in 2008. It was a Santa Cruz Blur XC. This loop was my first ride. The trail is way more rutted and chunky now. My perspective on what makes a good trail has changed and this was not my favorite but for the sake of nostalgia it was totally worth the time. The ride –
Getting my butt kicked by Jake
Ran into Jake. He used to live in my neighborhood. I remember him as a young kid but that memory is wrong. He is a kick your butt rider that climbs like a mountain goat. Always fun to see cool people on the trail! The ride – Providence Canyon, Utah The bike – Ripmo
