Vernal…a perfect 10….here’s why
So for YEARS, I’ve been trying to get to Vernal. If you live in Summit county, you’ve heard the stories…great trails, warmer than Summit County (during the daytime) and closer than Moab.
These are all true, but the best thing of all is the Lupcho family and Altitude Cycle.
All of you need to check out the link, bookmark it and then make it your home base when you ride in Vernal. Here is another excellent link to learn about the trails…Here is a story from Kim and myself.
So, there is never enough time for a vacation it seems…so we decide to watch the weather and do a one day, one night trip. Yes, we left the office/shop late on Friday, but with a 2.5 hr driving time, who cares. You could do a day trip to Vernal. Check into the motel and hey, lets get wasted at the brewhaus.
Pitchers, peanuts, deep fried food…the bomb.
So after sleeping in (which I never do, but love), Troy pointed us toward Bettys…which rocks. They asked me if I wanted my cinnamon roll ‘heated and buttered’. When I die and go to heaven, thats what all the waitresses are going to ask for every meal.
So, after a large meal, we actually rode. 10/10 riding. And I”m biased dear friends because I love desert riding. The trails have handmade touches - it so obvious that there is so much love in every inch of the trail. Really fun. Check out the altitude cycle site for descriptions. My trail of the day, More Hoes. So, get your asses to Vernal. Its worth it.
