TK saves the day
About 3 weeks ago somebody by the name of TK left a comment saying part of the TU route was gated, private land. There’s a sign pointing to Webster flat from the key intersection so i never imagined issues. Yesterday I had time to go check it out – and sure enough, it is a […]

Trans Utah preview: mile 0-145

Those first 80 will take in some singletrack (roughly 25 miles), a bit of the Sunshine and Honeymoon trails in the AZ strip, killer views, a fun trip up the Hurricane cliffs, a key spring that is hopefully running […]
