Mule Riding, Canyoneering, and Skiing Into a Pool: Part Two of Uniquely Utah Adventures
Description
If there's one word that defines Utah, it just might be adventure. From the
adrenaline-pumping to the meditative, the outdoors in Utah is a veritable
playground for exploration. In Part One of Uniquely Utah adventures, we spent
the morning fly fishing on the teal waters of Flaming Gorge, followed by an
afternoon of mountain biking, chasing sharp turns with a pro rider.
In Part Two, follow along as we ride on muleback to trace the steps of ghostly
gunslingers through narrow slot canyons, rappel over the sides of redstone cliffs
(sometimes directly into mud), and finally attempt the legendary 50-foot ski
jump directly into a pool at Park City's Olympic Park.
