A short trip in the San Rafael Swell

[gilamonster]

We just got back from doing an overnighter in the swell. Wow, what a beautiful place! It's so close to my home, but I'd never been before. And will definitely need to go back do some more exploring!

Great area for some bike trips-but watch your water. There is little to none available and the little available is extremely silty!

Nice. Sweet Mone

Thanks, love that bike! It's going to be getting a suspension fork on it for the next trip though.

I am thinking about one of Cjell’s coaster brake bikes…. So many bikes so little money!

So, what trails/roads did you explore?

Agree, it's a great big relatively unknown place, but they're planning on shutting down many roads.

Started on the Behind the Reef road and circled around the Hidden Splendor rd. Split off and did some 4wd trail back to Temple mtn campground, not sure which trail that was. Saw so many other roads and trails that would've been nice to explore.

Nice, that is such a cool area. I hope it isn't getting tore up by now but the area where factory butte road intersects with Wild Horse road was one of the most amazing landscapes I had ever seen. Straight up like your on mars there. I need to get back over there soon.
