TR: Cedar Mountain, San Rafael Swell
Yesterday I took my family out to ride a trail on the western slope of Cedar Mountain in the San Rafael Swell. I didn't expect it to be this awesome, but we had the most fun we've had on any trail since we bought our ATVs in March. The only trail I've done that was better than this is the Behind the Reef trail.

Here's a Google Earth .KML file with my GPS tracklog, plus a few points of interest with linked photos embedded in each.

It's definitely ATV season.
I'll have to throw this one on the home page later this week. Nice report.

I edited the original post (above) and added a Google Earth .KML file with my GPS tracklog and a few waypoints. I also was tooling around in Google Earth and noticed some other trails a few miles from this one in the Bull Hollow vicinity, except there are at least twice as many miles of trails in that area, and they all look good. Be expecting another trip report this weekend.

By the way, we had so much fun with you and DeViDe on Behind the Reef that we're hoping to go back again this fall (in another month or so). If your schedule would allow it on a weekend, let me know and we'll try to get together for that.

I wish we could pull it off but that's not going to happen anytime soon. We have one of two boys back from Iraq on leave and only one wheeler. Liza is attending the Post/Corrections academy in SLC to become a Deputy-Nurse for the county. She'll be finished some time late November.
For now I'll have to do my out-door living by way of Bogley and your postings.
