Autumn Adventures of Splendor in 2020

 Darrel and I took several evening 4 wheeler rides into our nearby canyons.  2020 was blessed with a glorious autumn season that was extended because of mild, unseasonable warm weather.


                                                        Maple Lake in Payson Canyon




 One day we drove up Spanish Fork Canyon into Fairview.  We then went up their canyon and along the skyline drive before coming down Mount Pleasant Canyon.  Several ATV's were surprised to see us there in our nice 2016 Camry.  Once we were committed we finished the journey!


We came across a gem and fossil saw in the mouth of Spanish Fork Canyon. 







                                                                    Spring City, Utah
                                                    The famous old Spring City Chapel
Manti Temple:  Not much was going on there because of the Covid 19 restrictions.
 

                                        We rode up to the towers one evening on 4-wheelers.
                    It was a beautiful sunset and an amazing view of the valley from up there.
                                
We also rode up Chicken Creek one evening and Deep Canyon another.






                    The gypsum pile at the mouth of Chicken Creek was the largest I have ever seen.





This ride was good for my spirit, but not my hair!  With multiple fires in Utah, the sunsets were breath-taking.
