Camping at Blacksmith Fork Canyon

We took the girls to Blacksmith Fork Canyon for a little camping trip. True camping...smores, campfires, bad hair, no showers; the works. We had a really great spot with a creek that ran by it and plenty of shade.


We went four wheelin'. We thought we'd take the girls for a "short jaunt" that turned into a 5 hour pretty hard ride.









Check out this part of the trail we went up! Let me paint the picture - We come up on this portion of the trail that looks like boulders just fell and blocked it. At the top of the trail there's a pack of hillbillies egging us on to tackle the climb. I made it about a fourth of the way and got stuck. This giant hillbilly (perhaps the pack leader) rushed down the trail and said, "Stay put! We're gonna get you up this trail!" (of course this was in a THICK Southern accent) Then he coached me along and physically picked up the back of my bike and helped me up the trail. Oh gees! Anyway, we made it up the trail and so did this 2007 Rubicon!
