Next up for riding: Bear Lake
Well, I'm off to Bear Lake this weekend for some swimming, camping (RV & Cabin) and ATV'ing.
Anybody going to be up there besides myself, family and friends?
The week after, I'm off to the Paiute for a full week of camping (RV) and ATV'ing & tent camping (on/off the trail).
Eat yer hearts out!

Yeah, there's a bunch of riding up on the hill south of Sweetwater, I'm not sure what the area is called but it goes back there a ways.
There's also some riding up almost every canyon on the west side of the lake up in Idaho, such as Paris & Bloomington canyons.

Spent the day yesterday exploring the trails to the South/West of Bear Lake (all the way up to Logan Canyon). Here are a few photos from yesterday's outing.
Today, we plan on riding further up the North West side where we encountered some of the most butt puckering trails around. I hope to send photos of those tonight.
Edited to add, I placed a geocache along the way. Once published, it can be found at GC1DEMT

On a scale of 1-5 (5 being hardest), this section of trail riding was easily a 5+
-Elevation
-Rocks
-Tree roots
-Low fallen tress obstructing the trail
-Deep snow drifts
-Severe off camber
-Loose soil
-Wild animals (moose, badger and a mountain lion)

While trying to come back, we came across a 25' long by 2.5' thick snow drift and we had no choice but to cross it. My brother-in-law (on his Yamaha motorcycle) went through no issue. I got a slight running start, hydro-planed the entire distance, got sideways and flipped the Kawi ATV, landing hard on the rocks off the snow drift. I have some great bruises, abrasions and lacerations to show for it, but at least I didn't crack open my pumpkin!

Cool. I ride all those trails on my motorcycle quite frequently. I was up there too this weekend but didn't have my bike.

Hey, I think I've got some video of that same place. (I have to upload it to YouTube again, long story.)
