This year for our couples ATV trip, we decided to stay in Manti. The trails were so much fun and they were so full of color. We always go in mid September when the leaves have changed and the colors are vibrant. There were so many Aspens and the golden leaves were amazing. One of the things that I love to watch or see when I ride, is the golden trails that are dusted with beautiful leaves. It just makes everything almost glitter and glow.
As we rode up on top, it got a little windy and cold. We stopped to eat lunch up on top as we watched the loggers move trees around and fed a tiny squirrel that kept coming down from the trees. After lunch, I laid on the warm table for a few minutes so that I could soak up the sun and defrost a little bit.
The area that we rode in had many small lakes and streams and ponds. It was such a beautiful location, because it had a mixture of pine trees and maples and Aspens. I have found that my favorite trails are ones that are true ATV trails, not Jeep trails. I love staying on a small train as it climbs the terrain and winds through the trees and mountains.
We would come upon areas that would have huge forests of glowing Aspen trees. We always have to pull over and take pictures because they are so breathtaking. Research shows that a mountain range may have thousand and thousands of Aspen trees and groves, but they are all one large living organism.
I just had to get a picture of the beautiful Manti temple that sits up on the hill. It resembles the Logan temple and it is so gorgeous. Bryce and I are so blessed to be able to get out in the nature and see so many beautiful creations. Four wheeling has given us an opportunity to see many sights and to spend time together doing something we love!
