Day 20 – Thou Shalt Not Pass!

Monday, July 20th, 2020 – Price, Utah to Richfield, Utah

One nicely made sign!

Some days, well… they just start out with a set-back.

On this particular morning, we departed Price, UT and headed southwest to Emery, and into the Manti-La Sal National Forest. The trail began fine enough, but very quickly turned a bit nasty.

Our ascent into the mountains, a series of very steep, sharp curves, combined with extraordinarily slippery talc-like sand, proved treacherous. It didn’t take long for all concerned to decide that 40+ miles of potentially similar conditions was not a prudent choice. A detour was in order.

This required some back-tracking and creative re-routing, but we reacquired the trail without too much difficulty.

The route between Emery, UT and Richfield, UT provided an abundance of fine riding and great scenery.
