Northbound on I-15 with Mt. Baldy in the background.
Heading up Highway 173.
Once on top of the mountain the 173 turns back into pavement from dirt. Notice the dividing yellow line.
This would be Dixie's first trip in the snow.
Our first stop of the day. A couple thinking they can take their RAV4 anywhere. Even with chains they couldn't get around this corner. We pushed them back onto the road and advised them to head back down. They listened to us.
Cutting new tracks in the snow.
Small Video Clip
Dixie still trying to figure out what the heck we are doing out here.
Yosh's first time sledding. She had a blast.
My first time sledding since i was a kid.
Even Dixie got her turn.
After sledding for a while we decided to push on.
We hit Willow Creek Jeep trail and made it about 1/4 mile down the road. We came to a steep grade in the road and it was too slippery to make it without chains. We had to back down.
We decided to head back down and run down the small valley for some lunch.
Once again the 80 was cutting trail. We were the only ones out here on this day.
Our lunch spot
Dixie trying to figure out what the heck we would want to get out and stand in this cold stuff.
What you can see of the cattle crossing.
After lunch we had to have some more fun sledding.
After a long lunch break we started seeing the next storm roll in. So we played it smart and headed back down the mountain. The blue skies started turning dark and we knew the weather would worsen.
Beautiful rocks covered in snow.
On the way down we passed a FJcruiser that was on his way up. He was all alone. We advised him of how far we got and that another storm was on its way. He proceeded on after we passed him. 10 minutes later we got a call on the CB that he was stuck and needed help. We turned around and winched him back online
Needless to say he followed us back down the mountain after that.
Nice waterfall on the way back down.
