American Fork Canyon

After a serious bout of inactivity on the blog I decided to put up our latest Jeeping trip and pictures. Last Saturday we paid a visit to American Fork Canyon with Jamie, her step dad, and myself. This canyon is gorgeous! The temperature was about 47 up in the canyon and we even ran into a bit of snow fall while eating lunch but it was very enjoyable (completely different from our 5 mile pass trips that have hardly any greenery and where it sticks to the higher end of the temperature scale).

We drove up to Silver Lake and did some geocaches and explored a few small trails but we didn’t have time to get fruther up into the canyon where the good 4×4 trails are, maybe next time.

This was also the first real trip for our new GPS unit (the Garmin Colorado 300) and we put it through its pases. Thus far it has been a pretty good unit (canyon reception was a little bit rough but I expect that with any unit) and the geocaching features are amazing!
