Brian Head - Mammoth Creek Cabin

Thanks to Grandma Stephenson, we have access to a fantastic cabin in the woods on the Mammoth Creek just minutes from Cedar Breaks and Brian Head. We got to spend a quick weekend with the Stephenson family August 21-24. We spent some good outdoor time exploring the Sidney Peak Trail, which also connects to the Dark Hollow and Bunker Trails, which we need to test out on mountain bikes at some point in the near future... We discovered great views, a killer climbing area, and wild raspberries to boot!! Throw in way too much food, some s'mores on the fire, a couple quick 4-wheeler rides, and a short stop over at Yankee Meadows for some fishing on the way home, and this had all the makings of a great family vacation. Sawyer has informed me under no uncertain terms that we need to go to the cabin more often... Yes, we do son. Yes, we do!

Summertime 2014!!

This summer has already provided every member of the family numerous clean dirt kid opportunities! We have had some sticky times, some dripping sweat hot times, some keep grabbing way too much candy parade times, some booming firework night times, some tasty BBQ and marshmallow roasting times, some lightning strikes a little too close river-rafting times, some bike riding times, some swimming times, some amazing mountain waterfall hiking times, and a one really incredible, captured on video, but not appropriate for sharing, face meets clean dirt at high speeds time! All in all, we have enjoyed (potentially over-enjoyed) the last few months. Below are just a few moments captured on camera to prove it!

St George in April

I totally slacked through the month of April. Despite not writing about our adventures, we did actually have some great 'clean dirt' fun...and yes, we have the pictures and video to prove it! Hopefully the images can relay at least a portion of the excitement of our 4-day break over the Easter weekend...
