  • Millville Canyon in May

    I went on a bike ride up Millville Canyon in May. I thought that the road was easier that it really was. Once I got above the creek that is in the video the road was just steep. I’d driven the road before in the Bronco II and road it on the motorcycle, but I was thinking that it wasn’t really that bad since the forest service had re-graded the road. Well it was very steep the whole way and a lot of work. I felt like I was riding up Old Main hill for over an hour the road was so steep. I made it to the top and was only able to go as high as I did because the road is on the south slope. The north slope was completely covered in snow.


    Leatham Hollow Trailhead
    Well this is the the trail head picture for Leatham Hollow. The trail was completely covered in snow on the upper portion when I looked over at it. So there was no point in even attempting that path.


    north slope
    Covered in snow as you can see. The snow line is goes well below from where I am at. The road wasn’t even the driest either and so I was fortunate to get to the top of the canyon.

     

     

     

     

  • Spring Hollow – Dry Canyon loop

    This is a six hour bike ride that takes extreme physical conditioning. You’ll need to be very fit to do this ride. However once you get up on the mountain and are about seven thousand feet high then the area just becomes beautiful. So this ride all depends on how much work your willing to do to enjoy the view. Riding along the north side of the Logan Peak ridge is quite breath taking. The ride also takes you just above the cliffs in Mill Hollow. I did this ride on July 17, 2010. The offical recorded high for the day was 94 degrees, and the length from my apartment is 24.62 miles.
