Logan Canyon Sampler (for lack of a better name....)

[neilether]

We strung together a bunch of singletrack segments to make a large point to point ride in Logan Canyon. We started at Tony Grove Lake and ended up at the mouth of Logan Canyon 37 miles later. My Garmin told me that we had accumulated 6000' vertical feet of climbing and just over 9000' feet of descending. It was a long, tough day, but well worth it in the end. I of course forgot my camera, but MtnBkr had one. All the pictures below are his (posted with permission).

Trails we rode in order:

1.) Blind Hollow
2.) 1.5 miles on Temple Fork Jeep Road
3.) Temple Fork Sawmill
4.) Another 1.5 miles on Temple Fork Jeep Road
5.) Willow Creek
6.) Rick's Canyon
7.) 9 miles of jeep road
8.) Spring Hollow
9.) River Trail

The camera didn't come out for the 9 mile jeep road slog followed by the AWESOME singletrack descent of Spring Hollow.

You guys are friggin' animals! Nice report and photos. :hail2thechief:

[live2ride]

very nice report, looks like a hell of a ride! Some great trails up there in Logan, need to get up there more next summer.

Sorry I missed it but if I had things to do over, I'd still pick canyoneering in the Swell. :fitz:

You should've listened to Jim B's whining on last Wednesday's ride. You'd a thought he was some sort of pantywaist. :lol8:
