David Canyon Snowy Cart Ride

On a beautiful sunny January day, four of us decided to head to David Canyon to drive some horses from fun, little carts.

All hitched up, waiting to go.

It had snowed about a week earlier, and even though there was no snow at my house about 15 minutes away, David Canyon is a deep canyon and acts as a deep freezer, holding the cold air down below and keeping the snow from melting. So, we got to ride the carts through the snow on this day.

But because it was sunny, it didn't feel very cold at all. And the brilliant Fall color still holding on, sure warmed everything up even more.

Doing some off-roading.....

This is the intersection that I've ridden across countless times, but I had never ridden south of this intersection.

But we rode south on this day. And it was absolutely gorgeous!

I was basically guiding the ride as they had never brought their horses down this way in the canyon. And this was also their first time cart driving in David Canyon, too. I decided we should ride all the way to the far southern gate. I was curious to see if it would be a military gate or an Indian reservation gate.

It ended up being an Indian Reservation gate. And it was locked.

So we turned around and drove the carts back the way we came.

We rode past the intersection.

I, of course, was in heaven with all the ponderosa pine trees!

The sun was hanging low in the sky by the time we arrived back at the trailhead, but what a fantastic day we had!

Life is Good!!
