Fall Desert Trips - UT & AZ

January 19, 2021

A few great fall desert trips while celebrating the birthdays of two amazing people! Declan turned 5 years old in Moab and celebrated with a full on desert scavenger hunt for presents! We took the boys to the Grand Canyon for their first time on the way to Sedona to celebrate Kristin’s B-Day! We then wrapped up the trip with a stop in Durango to hang with friends and ride one of the San Juan classics!

Canyon Creek - Alpine MTB Perfection

August 20, 2020

The Monarch Crest receives all the attention, however its the lesser known Canyon Creek that deserves more of that attention. Topping out at 12,600' not only is it the highest elevation trail in the Monarch Pass zone it is also the longest true downhill trail in the area descending 3500'.

Canyon Creek is a top alpine ride in my books, Ill gladly repeat this ride each season! Unreal eye candy all day long and your likely to have the trail all to your self! One of those downhills that actually seems to last forever! Get it on your todo list you wont regret it.
