Mary Ellen Gulch Utah Pics

I was off road again this week in American Fork Canyon Utah. Great trail after a heavy rain wash out in the end of july made it much more interesting. This is a great trail (let's go together next time you SLC cruisers) with awsome and scary mines, a cabin, clif hanging two seat outhouse (why two seats close together?), and moderate obstacles. This trail is a 2 in good condition, but a 3+ right now after the rain erosion.

Precariously perched so as not to test the limits of the skid plates.



Once agian, thank you Budbuilt.



Sharp rocks ravage sidewalls and cut off chunks of tread.



Skid plates have already paid for themselfs. Note the bending at the corners.



Lots of off-camber



Really get to see articulation on this trail



Georgeous surroundings. Fall is around the corner.



The trail tops out at 10,500 feet.



This is really a fun angle.

That last picture is pretty intense. Did you help it out a little by holding the camera at an angle??

I am from Seattle and I love it, but . . . the high desert has some advantages, like reliable weather to rock climb, ski and ofcoarse off road. Lot's of rock.

Re: Mary Ellen Gulch Utah Pics

Thanks for the photos. I used to ski (cross-country) in AF Canyon when I lived in Provo 30 years ago.

Re: Mary Ellen Gulch Utah Pics

Great pics but it sure would be nice to see more of that nice countryside.

Hopefully, no one who sees your exagerated tilted-camera pic will think they can do that in real life.

Yea, I hope not. You get the pucker factor at 20 degrees, by thirty you think that your going to fall over. It would be hard to accidentally get to beyond thirty degrees if you going "as slow as possible. . . " and using a spotter.
