Day 1 – Brian Head,11,300 ft  The “other” Rock House  Views aren’t bad either   Cedar Breaks Nat’l Monument  You first…  Who took my shadow???  Quick, someone press the down button  Picture for body count at the finish.  Sun’s out, time to go  Fork for Dark Hollow   Commence the rock hucking   On the trail, smart ass      Skinny aspen log ride  Aspens     Even the ending forest road is fun     13 miles and 4,600’ lower, the fun is over and time for the shuttle ride back.

Great posting! I haven't ridden there for several years, but I can still say that Brian Head is the best lift-assisted XC riding I've ever done, and that a decision to ride from town to the trailhead up top is a great way to get light-headed and bang into the wall of the rock house. Did you guys do Left Fork of Bunker Creek and go down to meet the friendly folk at the general store? |

Here's some more from this ride The weather was kinda scary  Incredible views up top though   We were in for a shock once we got going - a short steep uphill almost killed us at 11k. Even the flats weren't so easy.  But there were still smiles all around    Some fun drops up top  The start of Dark Hollow   Deno flashing gang signs  More views at this overlook  QS checks out the rock-huck possibilities    GP rolls thru after cleaning the drops (just not in these vids)  A couple QS lines Can't see it, but Deno gets a flat  Leaving the trees into the aspens  Now we're in the aspens...  Lots of them  The skinny...  Really skinny. This thing took me out too  QS couldn't resist the gapper. Nor could he wait for us to get cameras rolling Sweet rock on the way down  'Tard  Goof  Gangsta  Water crossing  Very cool ride, lots of variety, and enough chunk and features to keep anyone happy. |
