With it getting a little chilly in CO, it was time to head to Utah for a little warmup and some desert fun. So for 10 days we visited some of southwestern Utah's playgrounds, including Hurricane Rim, Gooseberry Mesa, St George, Zion, and Bryce Canyon. We then worked our way back west stopping for a few days in Moab then visited Wes and Diana in Grand Junction! We wrapped up our final day with a ride in Eagle, Colorado.

At the bottom of the post are maps of the areas we biked during the trip. Gooseberry Mesa was top notch, very tech riding, punchy not much flow, but the views and trail features were amazing!

Jim and Donna!! Thank you so much for opening up your home to us and especially our little dudes :) It was a blast! We have some coffee coming your way soon from our local roaster Pangea Coffee Roasters.

Grandma and Grandpa Casey! It was great to share several days with you guys, thanks for making the trip out for Kristin's Birthday and watching the boys while we biked!

Fall colors and biking! What more can you ask for? Snow? Well we got a little bit of the white stuff too. We spent the week camping, exploring and biking some zones new to us. All were top notch and we will defiantly be visiting again. Some of our favorites from the trip include Hartman Rocks in Gunnison, "RAT" trails in Ridgway, and Phil's World in Cortez. Trail maps of these zones will be listed at the bottom of the post. We wrapped up the trip with a high elevation ride around iconic Engineer Mtn. near Coal Bank pass in the San Juan mountains. We were both pleasantly surprised by the quality downhill single track from Engineer mtn, and highly recommend it!
