Thread: Price to Nine Mile Canyon

    Price to Nine Mile Canyon

    I've tried twice this year to ride my ATV directly from my house in Price to Nine Mile Canyon, but the first time there was too much snow and the second time there was too much mud. I tried again today and was finally successful, riding 4.5 hours and covering 67 miles round trip. I only went to the first major rock art panel in Nine Mile due to time constraints, but I would have had enough fuel to go quite a bit farther. The ride was a good mix of paved, gravel, and dirt roads, and best of all, hardly any traffic.

    Nice! One day, I need to get out into your AO. Seems you have almost unlimited hiking, biking and riding opportunity out there in Price.

    Very cool Udink. That one petro looks like a 3 eyed Bart Simpson or a bag of popcorn.

    Sweet T.R., Dennis! I'm with you, Jim - I'd like to get down to Price and have Dennis take me on this same journey. Looks like a great time!

    On a separate note, do you happen to know how to make arrangements to camp at the Nine Mile Ranch, Dennis?

    I would love to show you around. Although Carbon County isn't my favorite place to ride--the Swell is ten times better.

    Nine Mile Ranch isn't in any of the local phone books, but I did find the following contact info here:

    Write to Ben & Myrna P.O. BOX 212
    Wellington, Utah 84542

    Phone Numbers
    1-435-637-2572

    When passing by the ranch last week, it looked like a pretty nice place. Lots of flat grassy areas, a lot of deer grazing, a small playground with slides, swings, etc.
