Marysvale, UT
Over the last several years, Scott, Duane, and Evan have been getting together to do jeep trips. They started out exploring Moab, UT, then moved on to the ever impressive Silverton and Ouray, CO areas and we recently spent a few nights in Marysvale, UT to drive its surrounding trails.
The Family at Fish Lake
Desperate to get out of the Vegas heat, we left a day early with hopes of staying in Brian Head, UT (on Duane’s property) en route to Marysvale. With two kids, a dog, and trailer behind me, I drove the truck and Scott drove the jeep. I was a little nervous considering I had only driven the truck towing the trailer one other time. Fortunately, other than a tire blowout on the trailer while doing 75mph on the freeway, the drive with the kids was uneventful.
Our first day, with the family surprisingly comfortably crammed in the jeep, we drove up to Monroe Peak at over 11,000 feet. The views of the surrounding areas was amazing! Although it was a lot of hours in the jeep, Ella loved using the CB radio to talk to Tyler, Miles happily looked out the window for cows and I was content snuggling with Topo in the front seat. Our second day, although there weren’t any off road trails tackled, we explored the beautiful Fish Lake area. There were wildflowers everywhere!
We spent each evening hanging out at the campground trying to stay dry as it rained throughout the night. There were no complaints, however, as we all loved falling asleep to the patter of the rain and Ella and Miles were happy to play with Tyler in the fresh mud in the mornings.
