Logan Canyon

This trip started out on a chilly Sunday morning. We had intended to go on Saturday morning, but we woke up to SNOW & decided to postpone the trip. Although it was still pretty cold (high of 50 we believe!)being the hard core bikers that we are (did I say WE???) we bundled up & started out.

We had been invited to ride with the Hog group from Pocatello on their trip through Logan Canyon, but they weren't planning to get back until late that night, so we chose to go on our own.

By the time we got to Pocatello, we were ready to stop & warm up. After getting warm & buying a pair of gloves we were off. We rode through Downey where Mel's family is from. Then through Preston & took the 5 minute tour of the great Napoleon Dynamite town! A quick warm up & Hot Chocolate stop in Franklin & we were on the road again until we finally made it to Logan.

We rode around Logan for awhile looking at the beautiful sites. We stopped at the Hastings for more Hot Chocolate & wandered around looking at books & music until we had warmed up.

We were now ready to head through Logan Canyon. The day was starting to warm up. It was still a little chilly but not unbearable. The country side was breathtaking. The trees were changing. They were red, orange & yellow and some almost looked pink. When we got to the look out at Bear Lake the sky was completely blue & clear. The lake was still & beautiful blue. We wanted to stay longer & look at the lake, but we had to get back home before the kids got there. One last stop for Hot Chocolate in Montpelier & we were headed home through Soda Springs & Lava Hot Springs. We wandered through a couple shops in Lava & wished we had time to warm up in the hot pools but time had gotten away from us & it was time to go home.
