day 8: DIXIE NATIONAL FOREST π²π 5.14.19 /May 14, 2020 by Tara Scieszinski pt. I π² DIXIE NATIONAL FOREST pt. I π² May 14, 2019: THUNDER MOUNTAIN TRAIL | Panguitch, UT β’ π²Thunder Mountain Trail lies within the Dixie National Forest. We did it as a loop starting out on about 4 miles of paved bike trail then a couple miles of dirt road before reaching the single track portion of the ride. Overall the ride was fantastic with some interesting geologic rock formations. This trail is frequented by equestrians so there was a lot of horse shit to dodge. While it was challenging and the views were great all the horse poo made for quite an added obstacle.CLIMB: 1733 ft β’ MILEAGE: 14.25 mi pt. II π DIXIE NATIONAL FOREST pt.

I ran through what was an old stream on a bed of rocks, twisted my ankle a few times.. hardly able to cruise back and hop in the car for the next 4 hoursβ¦ BUT IT WAS GORGEOUS and so worth it!!!CLIMB: 199 ft β’ MILAGE: 3.1 mi View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize View fullsize pt.

Every day on this trip was something different.. from slick rock and goblins in the desert, to something my mind couldnβt comprehend. Itβs a quick adventure full of walking paths and tourists, but Iβd plan to spend an hour or two next time just to sit and observe. Walked out of there with about 80 photos on my phone and another 112 on my cameraβ¦ just couldnβt quite capture this beaut with a snapshot.
