Family Trail Ride

We made our annual trek to Park City for the Salmans' Gathering. We have started a tradition that I hope lasts for a very long time. We gather up all the boys and their families and spend the weekend in Park City and have fun. This year due to the circumstances we went earlier than anticipated but it was good because it landed on Dad's birthday and we celebrated with him in my thoughts. We stayed Thursday thru Sunday and had a blast, for the most part.

Friday we went to Park City Mountain and rode the Alpine Slide and Coaster and the kids loved it. That evening we had pizza and played games. The kids played at the pool after the day on the mountain. Saturday we rented UTV's from Uinta Recreation and went on a trail ride. We met up with Adam and his crew early and prepared for a morning of adventure.

After the office work was completed we followed them over to the staging area and listened to the directions and map instructions for our trails. We loaded up five UTV's with or crew and made our way to the trailhead. We rode the trail from Soldier Hollow up and over to Cascade Springs. A mild trail with a few water crossings. We stayed on the main trail for the most part only venturing off a little bit on a side trail only to have it loop back on itself.

We rode trails 1 and 3 also known as Cummings Parkway. The trail ride was for four hours and we thought we were going to have more than enough time to play around but the trail is deceiving and by the time we reached our last stop point we had to move quickly to get back to the staging area. The last stop was at a small water crossing. Rogan made the best of it a couple of times. We all got a little dusty and some wished they had rented goggles, we will remember to bring them next time.

We made it back right at noon and packed ourselves into the cars dusty and all and headed to Chick's Cafe and had a wonderful lunch.
