One suggestion: If you are headed north, you may want to stop in Price and ride WOODHILL Trail
System (Intermediate/Advanced) Located on the plateaus overlooking the town of Price. Lots of
fun single-track trails. The beginning of the trail system is flat and easy for even young kids to
tackle. Other suggestions: HumBug/Jurassic Nat’l Monument; Cedar Mtn.; or Mexican Mtn.
Then head home with a wonderfully stiff and sore body and a head full of beautiful memories and happy thoughts!

- BEGINNER = Spirit Railroad - Never-completed railroad – grade was built in 1882. See dugouts where the workers lived, petroglyphs, antelope, wild flowers – and lots of history. Drive about 10 miles into the desert & ride 15 miles on the grade in dirt.
- INTERMEDIATE = West Wedge Overlook - Convoy out of town about 13 miles. Ride 11 miles. Spectacular views of a part of the Wedge (Little Grand Canyon) that few ever see - also wild flowers, antelope, and maybe big-horn sheep
- ADVANCED = Red Point - Just a couple of miles out of town to begin this Adventure Ride. It is a 6 mile out and back ride along the cliff bands in steep, rugged terrain. Excellent bird’s-eye views of Emery County and the beautiful San Rafael Swell. NO SMALL BIKES ALLOWED.
lawn games and Bike Bingo with prizes! Yummy, all-you-can-eat DINNER will be catered by Ponderosa Grill right there at the group site – beginning at 5:00 p.m.
