Heading out of the Marysvale valley, we ascended the 02.
We were going to the Paiute 01, past the gate that was still closed on our last visit due to snow.
We climbed through the pine and aspen to reach the highest point on the trail, between Mt.Belknap and Delano Peak.
We topped out at 11,500 feet!
The scenery was breathtaking, crossing avalanche chutes and climbing above the tree line.
The views of the valleys below and the mountain peaks are truly amazing.
Riding in the mountains rewards the senses with vast mountain views, clear crisp air, alpine flowers, deer grazing, and butterflies fluttering.
From the meandering Beaver Creek running on the valley floor to the pale purple alpine Columbine, the Tushar mountain range holds surprises around every corner.
As I was photographing the alpine flowers it appears that the Chris and Caleb were enjoying their break!
Lounging on the quad watching the puffy clouds float by, Caleb has been to some amazing places.
Following the creek back to the valley of Marysvale,
we were welcomed home to camp by this young colt.
