Santaquin Meadows Trail Ride
June 13 &
14, 2008
Directions to the ride:
These directions have been updated, as the
cool spring has left a lot of mud, so the location has been modified.
The new location is in
an area about 13 miles from the Peteetneet School turn off in Payson, at
the top of the little hill, where you first enter the Nebo Loop Road.
Drive up the canyon to the second sign that reads Jones Ranch.
 | The new location in Payson Canyon
is the JONES RANCH area, about one mile
above the UPPER PAYSON LAKE turn off.
|
| There is a good sign out by the
road which reads JONES RANCH and I will
also place a sign out "FOX TROTTERS HERE!"
(There is also a Jones Ranch sign below the Payson
Lake turn off. Do not stop there! Go to the second sign! You will be
able to see us just off the road in a big open area) |
| There is a lot of room for horses and campers, but not much grass.
Be sure to bring weed-free feed. |
| Find a nice place to camp and
hunker down. No improved facilities, bring drinking water for
yourself. There is no horse water right at the site (it's about
1/2 mile away) and there will be numerous stream crossing each day on
the trail.
If you bring dry feed get the certified weed free type, possibly at
Harwoods along the freeway in Springville, usually $6.00 per bale self
service. Have the correct cash! Please call me at 801-571-3221 for
questions you may have or just chat about the rides. |
| The Friday ride could take us into
a good herd of elk, "if we are lucky". |
| The Saturday ride will be longer
(at least 10 miles) and takes us to some beautiful areas through easy
country. If there is not too much snow, I'll take the group to what I
call, "Bear Country!". I found this area years ago, bears have marked up
a lot of trees, etc. |
| I will be prepared to cook hot
cakes, sausages and eggs for everyone both mornings. Bring a good
appetite, your friends, a good mount and a camera. Be ready for some
fine experiences in the best of Fox Trotter company. |
