I am planning a 100 mile or so mountain bike ride from Tucker to Palisades reservior past Manti via the Skyline Ridge. We will kayak many of the lakes along the way in homeade kayaks. Anyone have any "must-see" spots or great camping spots you'd recommend? We're planning on 5 days for the trip.

Our group of 12 caught over 800 fish in the five days we were there. (We did catch and release, BTW). We didn't see a soul for 5 days until a forest ranger showed up. It would have been fun to keep going North to China Meadows and climb King's Peak on the way. This could easily be done in 5 days. The Paria drainage and Buckskin Gulch would be the ultimate hike. I've only day hiked in Buckskin, but want to hike all the way to the Colorado. - -- - ---------------------------------------------------- Todd Stevenson todds@inconnect.com, todds@code3.com Home page: http://www.inconnect.com/~todds - ---------------------------------------------------- - - ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 2 Mar 1999 04:11:55 -0700 (MST) From: David Kenison Subject: Re: [OUTDOORS] Utah hikes On Mon, 1 Mar 1999, Todd Stevenson wrote: > The Paria drainage and Buckskin Gulch would be the ultimate > hike.

A few years ago, we did the hike from White House campground to the river at Lee's Ferry in 2 1/2 days - about 45 miles including side trips. We would have enjoyed another day or two. The top part of the hike features lots of river wading in the spring (best time to go), narrows, arches, sheer cliffs. Incredible scenery. Lots of springs for fresh water (the river is incredible silty). Some fun side trips along the way include the Adams Trail which goes out of the canyon up to the rim (more spectacular views) and Wrather Canyon, a lush, beautiful little area that includes one of the 10 largest arches in the southwest. The bottom half of the hike becomes more dry and desert-like. There are some very interesting petroglyphs in this section. - ---------------------------------------------------- David Kenison - Orem, Utah dkenison@xmission.com My Homepage URL: http://www.xmission.com/~dkenison/ LDSWorld-Gems, Cougar-Net, UtahOutdoors, Brasil-SUD - - ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 02 Mar 1999 12:59:31 +0100 From: Swan Subject: [OUTDOORS] utahoutdoors@lists.xmission.com unsubscribe utahoutdoors - - ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 3 Mar 1999 15:53:22 -0800 From: Blake Schmutz Subject: [OUTDOORS] Overnight hikes Hi everyone, If you know of any one or two day hikes that are relatively uncrowded, let me know!

Where she can walk part of the way, and we can carry her part of the way in a backpack. I have a few favorites I'll venture to start off. Especially good would be Hikes that can be done in March-April--Early spring months. I live in Utah county, and have a few favorite hiking spots: #1--Grove Creek Canyon. This hiking trail begins at the base of the water tower in Pleasant Grove. You walk steeply uphill about 1/2 mile, and see 5 waterfalls. This is probably a medium hike. Because there's lots of scree, I wouldn't recommend it for small children. However, if you're strong and carrying a toddler, you should be ok. The trail continues for several miles into Mount Timpanogos. #2-Provo Riverwalk trail. There are several parks on the riverwalk. One of them (sorry I can't be more specific, but I think it might be Canyon Glen) has a trail that leads up into the foothills overlooking the highway. You climb several hundred yards up hill on a fairly well-marked path, which leads you onto a ridge. On one side is a bowl that gently slopes down in the foothills of Timp, and on the other side, you can see very pretty vistas of Provo Canyon. This is easily accessible. I hiked this when I was 5 months pregnant. Depending on how far you go (the original climb takes only about 20 minutes) you can make this a short hike or a long hike. Especially nice in March and April. #3-Rock Canyon. I was surprised to drive up there and find that a very nice trail head and park have been added to Rock Canyon in Provo, just past the temple. You can find lots of information on the natural resources and on geographical info. #4-Moab. Bypass the national parks and go to the city information center near downtown. They've published a booklet of hikes that are local to the area. - - ------------------------------ End of utahoutdoors-digest V2 #109 **********************************
