|
|
Forum has been a bit quiet.
Anyone got plans for some atv riding this weekend?
I want to try Little Sahara but my wife wants to go this weekend just not to Little Sahara. I just got a call from my dad and he's decided to stay home.
Anyone got a suggestion for maybe an easy intro trail near Fillmore that would be suitable for my wife.

Well, the wife has decided to stay home while giving me her blessing that I can head out.
My feeling is that Little Sahara might be crowded.
So I am open to some suggestions.
On the otherhand I might just leave the 4-wheeler home and just explore with my jeep.

Mt Pockets,
Did you get out?? Hope so, weather was great at the Swell. Spent three days, Saturday had a little cloud cover and a nice breeze.
Won't be long before the snow is gone off our mtn, then you've got an invite to come and do the Arapeen trail.

Didn't get out although my wife gave her blessing.
Instead I stayed home doing mostly stuff for her.
Was watching the weather though and felt bad for not getting out.
I would be happy to take you up on the Arapeed trail invite.

Monk's Hollow is actually up Diamond Fork Canyon a ways. In Spanish Fork Canyon, there's Long Hollow (Windwalker can tell you about that one) and Dairy Fork. Tucker to Scofield is a so-so ride on an ATV, considering that most cars could make the trip for most of the distance. There are some good trails from Soldier Summit, either the left or right forks of the White River are decent roads, but still accessible to most vehicles.
If heading out in that direction, I'd recommend Billie's Mountain to Monk's Hollow. The trail begins at N 40° 0.068' W 111° 29.030' just off of US-6 and meets up with Monk's Hollow up Diamond Fork Canyon. It'll get you out of the heat of the valleys a little bit, but even farther up in the mountains would be better. |

This morning on AT Your Leisure they featured an ATV trail up American Fork Canyon. Looked like fun and is realatively close to Salt Lake.
I did get out for a day this weekend and posted a short video of my trip to Little Sahara.

| I know this is a fairly old post, but I was wondering if you remembered what the name of the trail up American Fork Canyon was? |

I am sorry but I don't know the name.
Possibly this link will answer the question.
