Technically this is the Sydney Peaks trail but it part of the Bunker Creek route<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Day 18 Bunker Creek. Coming off of Brianhead Peak this was a doozie. Starting just at 11,000 feet, you had long views, Alpine meadows, Aspens, Pines. Much of this area burned in 2017 and the trails have been rebuilt, improved and extended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Virgin River Rim Trail – Navajo Peak Section<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Day 19 VRRT – Navajo Peak. I started out with plans to do the Navajo Lake Loop, but half way around I chose to peel off and get my climb on. There was plenty of work to be done but much like the Strawberry Point segment the views were worth the effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Day 20 I finished off the “Big 3” at Brianhead with the Blowhard Mountain Trail. I rode with a group of guys from the Giant Bicycle shop in Las Vegas. A great group of guys. The trail was every bit as technical as it was billed to be. Such good stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indian Rock Art at Paragon Gap<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

My body decreed that today would be a rest day so for Day 21 I tooled around the countryside a bit which included a stop at Paragon Gap to check out the Indian Rock Art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Excellent view on the Excellent Trails of Iron Hills <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For Day 22, I ventured off the mountians to check out the Iron Hills trail system in Cedar City. This is an exceptional designed and built trail system which was a hoot. I did 14 miles and change with 1,700 feet of climbing. After spending much of my time over the last two weeks around 9,000 feet the thick oxygen rich air down at 6,000 feet was a real joy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Navajo Lake<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

After camp near Navajo Lake since being in Utah, for Day 23 I felt the need to knock of Navajo Lake Loop proper since I had only done part of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m pretty tired…..Think I’ll go home now.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Day 24 Time to head home. Ahh hell, time to go do some of that adult stuff. It has been a fabulous trip. I have gotten everything thing I needed and wanted out of this trip. I’m no sure what that need and want is exactly yet, but I found it out here. For now I’m looking forward to seeing both wife and dogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have amassed nearly a terabyte of footage and photos to do stuff with that will take months to get through. I have melon full killer memories of this trip that I’m bringing back as well. I’ll share when I can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For now, the RV’s shitter tank is not going to dump itself!<\/p>\n
