Five Mile ATV'ing (North side)

| No Comments
After the Easter festivities concluded at home, I just had to pack up the trailer, ATV, GPSr and SPOT and head out.

I decided to park East of the South staging area and ride up the canyon along Lewiston. The trail was mostly dry until I started up toward Coyote Hill.  After passing this location, the trail became very muddy and wet.

Here's the SPOT trail map of today's ride:

My ATV was throwing mud/rock balls the size of grapefruit, and I quickly felt the ATV gain over 100 pounds of weight due to the mud and rocks being gathered underneath and along the foot wells.

I decided that since I had gone this far, that I would attempt to gain access to Castle of Cacti.  Within .5 miles of this location, the snow was easily 1' deep in spots and icy. I put my machine in 4wd low, grabbed the posi-traction lever and barreled to the top.

The view was well worth the mud, snow and cold:
