I haven't done any in the Wasatch Mtns myself. No reason for it, just haven't been out that way. I like hitting the West Desert areas myself and exploring the mines, etc. I have gone through American Fork Canyon, but found it too busy for me.

I'd be down to go exploring with a small group sometime. I've been up Farmington Canyon and behind Francis Peak a couple times.

You just missed a nice ride with some of the guys in the area. Look out for postings on upcoming rides. We have lots of summer time to get out. I'm already planning an overnighter soon in the area.

I'd be up for an overnighter in the upcoming months. If someone wants to plan it as I'd have no clue on where to go around here.

I'll see what I can dig up. Probably too hot for my blood to camp at the moment...

I'm planning on somewhere cooler. More of an evening ride the first day and a morning ride the next. Trying to stay out of the heat.

I was on Skyline Drive last week. It was spectacular.

American Fork Canyon, up past Tibble Fork Reservoir, is nice. It can be crowded and dusty, but just keep going and you get pretty high and clear. The road up to Forest Lake is pretty - but you'll want a rig that will clear some good sized rocks (14-16").

Five Mile Pass is good for starting out with desert driving, and has some moderately technical stuff, too.

Lots of places to go, I guess.

Check out Mirror Lake Hwy- tons of cool trails, free camping and beautiful lakes. If you backpack- it's fun too, there are a ton of unnamed lakes to hike into and fish at.
