We rode a nice easy trail at Dead Horse State Park (nice name isn't it) on Saturday afternoon. Dead Horse remind me of the Grand Canyon because that whats there--a huge canyon. The trail was a great ride and the views were amazing. We definetly want to ride there again.
On Sunday we rode Slickrock. For those of you who don't know, Slickrock is the most famous mountain biking trail in the world. The trail is built on entrada sandstone--these are sand dunes were petrified million of year ago--and you can see the dunes in the pictures. The good thing about riding on rock is that it gives you good traction; the bad thing is that rock hurts when you fall on it. We found out that Slickrock is forty years old! It was originally laid out for motorcycles in 1969 by Dick Wilson. Brad and I rode the whole 10 mile trail. We were so beat when we were done but we enjoyed every minute of it.
