Dry Creek to Manning Meadow Reservoir

P1010515

A leisurely Sunday afternoon ride was in store for us!  We headed east of Marysvale to join up with the Paiute 01.

P1010516

We planned on a short ride up Dry Creek.

Caleb rode for 26 miles!

Once again the scenery was spectacular, from pines and rock formations to aspen groves and wildflowers.

Once we reached the Dry Creek Guard Station, Caleb decided we weren’t really going on a short ride since that was our 26 mile mark!

The guard station is part of Fishlake National Forest.

With a change of guard on the ATV, we decided to continue on to Manning Meadow Reservoir.

At 9500 feet, the breeze was crisp and the reservoir was full.

Of course with a different RZR driver at the wheel, some mandatory wildflower stops were in order.

P1010551

We traveled back down the way we came, along the Paiute 01 to the Marysvale 02.

P1010553

In the passenger seat, Caleb wondered, “Are we there yet?”

60 miles later we arrived back at our abode after a beautiful ride!
