Last weekend, Mom watched the boys so Bryce and I could go on a 4-wheeler ride. We headed up Logan Canyon and then turned off at Temple Fork. In the 1800's, the mormon pioneers would go up this canyon to get lumber and rock to use on the Logan Temple. It was such a beautiful canyon.
I really enjoyed this ride because it was slow and there was climbing involved. We went up rocky hills, in and out of pine and aspen trees, out through the bright yellow flowers, and way up to what felt like the top of the world. The weather was perfect.
We stopped at Temple Peak to eat lunch and the view was gorgeous. With all the moisture we have had this year, the grass and plants are so green. There is still snow on the mountains and we ran into a little snow here and there. At one point, we were overlooking the south part of Bear Lake. It's amazing how much ground you can cover in a short amount of time on a wheeler.
We stopped quite a bit along the way to take pictures or look at the beautiful scenery. Bryce's dad worked for the forest service for many years so he knew the "in's" and "out's" of Logan Canyon. At one point we stopped a fresh spring where we cleaned all the dirt off our hands, arms, and faces. The water was so refreshing and cold!
This was probably one of my favorite rides. It took us 4 hours exactly to finish the ride. The last half hour was riding on a gravel road and I didn't really care for that, but all in all, it was a great ride! We went with Roger, Sheridan, Bruce and Hunter. Marilyn got sick and couldn't make it. It was fun company and everyone had a fun and safe ride!
