Status Reports

A great easy trail following the Strawberry River and its tributary Timber Creek. We did this and connected up with Reservation Ridge and Argyle Canyon as part of our multi day overlanding trip along the Utah BDR.

Started at Strawberry Pinnacles. Made my way to highway 6 via Timber canyon. Very cool trail with lots of washed out bridges that are now water crossings. 5 I think. Had to get past a herd of cows and that added about an hour to the adventure. Then some sheep blocked the road. Towards 6, a steep downhill with many trucks pulling campers, added some close encounters. I air down when I off road but if you don’t have a compressor there is pay air just to the right on 6 at the summit station. Trail can be done with a 2WD on a dry day but need 4wd if wet.
