I went for a quick ATV ride with my brother-in-law this afternoon. We were trying to get from Price to Nine Mile Canyon on the back roads, but there was too much snow between Coal Creek and Nine Mile, so we just went up Coal Creek as far as the snow would let us. We both got stuck pretty good, but had a good time doing it. Here's a shload of photos from the ride.
