Fall biking is always an interesting time for those who ride. The leaves begin to turn, the heavy heat of summer gives way to the crisp coolness of fall. It is a fantastic time to be outdoors.
It has been awhile since we put tires on Dirt in the canyon. Inspired by some pictures put up by Josh M., and with the fall colors at their finest we decided this weekend would be best spent on the trails where our riding began; American Fork Canyon trail system.
Friday night my brother Gavin called and wanted to get out on a night ride. This is the four way junction where the ridge meets the Tibble fork trail and deer creek south fork.
Driving up the canyon the roads were packed with Roadies, Cars, and fishermen searching for their sweet spot. Remarkably, when we hit the trails we only saw two other people. It was a fantastic ride.
The colors are beautiful throughout the ride, but they really begin to show when you hit the Mud Springs and Lower Tibble fork trail. Like mother natures gives a reward to those who are willing to put in a little more work.
Nearing the meadow where there is a short trail to an AF canyon overlook. We skipped it today.
A camera Just cannot do this justice.
This part of the trail was amazing. The trail was literally covered by a red and pink carpet of fallen leaves.
This was a sweet day on a bike.
The weather was perfect.
The trails were good.
The trail crowds were small.
The Mountains were beautiful.
It's a great time to be out exploring one trail at a time.
Here is the Ride if you are interested.
