After riding 50+ miles through the Eureka/Tintic mountain areas yesterday, we loaded back up and rode up to the top of Jacob City. While we were able to reach the top, the entire ridge line is still covered in 2+' of snow.
I attempted to plow through anyway, but the snow was soft and my machine would only dig in.
So, for now, I'm postponing this ride until all the snow has cleared (for safety and to prevent rutting up the trail).
If anyone has interest, I'd be game in making another 50+ mile Tintic mountain ride. Black and Mill Canyons are now open and passable via ATV, but probably not yet for motorcycles.
A few photos from yesterday:
Craig (co-worker) and Danielle (sister-in-law) after coming back down from Mill Canyon (Craig's motorcyle couldn't make it up and he dumped it at least 3 times):
These photos are from the top of the Jacob City area. I started at the staging area just off Ophir Canyon and Hwy 73:
