TR: Ford Creek and Ford Ridge, Carbon County
I took Friday off work last week so I could take the family riding on the ATV trail that starts in Price Canyon, runs along Ford Creek for a ways, then climbs out of the canyon and up onto Ford Ridge. There is a lot of riding to be done up there, and I'm sure I'll have to go back a couple of times to hit all the trails. Everything we rode was pretty easy stuff, but not a lot of people ride up there (we only saw one other ATV) and the views are great.

This is just after the trail crosses the creek and begins the long steep climb up the side of the canyon

That's me putting my camera away. There's still a bit of snow up there.
