I guess some of y'all had some pretty hot weather on the west coast last week. Well, we got some of that too, but a milder version. Perfect for another out of season trail ride on the high desert of Wyoming. Kim and I moseyed down towards Utah, to explore some trails near Flaming Gorge, staging not far from Minnie's Gap and the Glades. I have fished near there, but have never poked around with my trail bike on the UTV trails through the hills. It turned out to be pretty fun day, and the temperature was just under 80 degrees. The trails were dry and dusty, and sometimes really rocky and steep in places. We didn't make it to our target destination to the north, which was Little Mountain, which we have ridden up from the opposite side. Kim has this app on her phone that shows all the secondary dirt routes....whether they actually exist or not, and we spent a little too much time chasing "ghost" trails that we had to turn around on. I much prefer to check Google Earth, because I can actually see where routes poop out, and avoid them. So far, I haven't been wrong about this, but will entertain Kim's misplaced trust for the sake of a little extra adventure from time to time.
