The most popular and most populated trail in Cache Valley. This is a relatively easy climb for 6 and a half miles to the Mt Naomi Wilderness boundary. This is a great trail for new riders as the overall experience is nothing too steep or technical. Experienced riders will enjoy the flow and the occasional rock garden. This is a great ride year round as it is green and filled with wild flowers through Spring and Summer. In late Summer it does get a bit overgrown at the very top between the parking lot and the wilderness sign. Autumn will blow your mind with colors. In the winter a local club grooms the trail and it’s a phenomenal fat bike ride.

All the creek crossings are dry. The dirt is dry. The dust is dry. Any tears from the heavens would be welcome to help cement the rocks and dust back into the - Surfing the moon dust
Moon dust covered both trail and sky. If it wasn’t brown you would be forgiven for thinking the forest was on fire. Devin and I both came home caked in a light mud made from a mixture of sweat and infinity small particles of trail. The creek in Green Canyon has run dry but the thick greenery provides ample defense from the stinging rays of - Give me a home where the cows do not roam.
.With Providence Canyon infested by cows and the Ripmo feeling lonesome in the garage we had to find some dirt. We selected Green Canyon. Everyone else in the valley did too. We encountered high way levels of traffic on the climb up. The creek crossings kept us plenty cool and wet and muddy.

For the New Year I wanted to ride Green Canyon. It’s usually a perfect winter trail. Today the bottom of the trail was awesome. The upper part turned into a 30 minute kick to the groin as the hikers had worn so many giant holes that it was barely ridable. Still it was gorgeous so I had to persevere.

It’s been a while since I’ve ridden with my boys. They had the day off school and we spent it the best way we could spend it – with everyone else in the mountains. They are getting stronger and faster. It’s fun to ride together. The ride – Green Canyon The bike – Ibis Ripmo - Carpets of Green

The Ripmo spent lots of time playing in the creek today. In all my years of riding I’ve never seen water flow in Green Canyon. Today we got really wet. Also, on my 13 mile ride today I turned over 1666.6 miles on the Ripmo. Together, we’re tempting all the fates. The ride – Green Canyon The bike – Ibis Ripmo - Still the best thrill ride
After just having spent a week at Disneyland I can say for certain mountain biking is still the best thrill ride. It’s also the prettiest. Lucky for me the colors aren’t gone yet. The ride – Green Canyon The bike – Ibis Ripmo - Visual Gluttony
If viewing colors counts as consumption then my favorite sin is gluttony. The colors of Green canyon overwhelm the senses and leave you soaked in pure visual bliss. I love Autumn. My descents are much slower since I’m constantly distracted and braking to take another photo. The Ripmo gets a bit impatient, but a few times a year we can slow down and take in
