Mountain Biking
The Applecross trail system is one of my favorites in Southern Utah. Green, Blue and Black trails for all levels of riding. Friday will be our mtb day.
Off-Roading
The Barracks Trail is a level 3 rated offroad trail with some off camber slick rock sections, loose sand, river crossings and amazing views. We can do it in our 2 wheel drive Volkswagen Bug. But I highly suggest a 4x4 vehicle with some ground clearance. Some of the river crossings can have a decent rut/step on the other side. We will be doing this trail starting at 10am on Sunday.
