This trail would start right at the shore of the reservoir and climb up to a high ridge and eventually a peak (although I didn’t make it that far)
The reservoir at first light
Mt.Ogden from the shore
After pedaling around a low ridge and then up a side canyon, the trail eventually brings you to a higher ridge overlooking the reservoir again
Mt. Ogden with the fading moon
As the trail climbs the ridge you get a slightly different perspective of the reservoir
And the mountains
The trail then climbs a little further and crosses into a north facing pine canyon. After the pine canyon the trail crests a higher ridge offering a different vantage
Powder Mountain
I like how the creek in the valley is catching the sun. Like a shinny ribbon
Mt. Ogden from the top of the ridge
From here you can look the other way – down to the Wasatch Front
North Ogden with Willard Bay in the distance
Ben Lomond
This was then end of the trip for me. This snowbank was not too bad, but the trail then crossed over to the north face again and there was more snow/mud, so I decided to turn around and enjoy the downhill.
This ride ended up at about 7 miles with 3,000’ elevation gain/loss. It was a trail I had never ridden or hiked before and I was pleasantly surprised. Feels great to get out!
