It was still cold down here with the high for the day being 38degrees (Fahrenheit) and being colder than that for much of the ride. There was also a bit of wind chill factor to contend with. However, just like Moab, as long as you were dressed for the conditions it was great riding with the added bonus of being a solitary experience with no-one else being out on the trail.

One of the many up then down moves that make this ride so much fun.
There was quite a bit of snow on the shaded areas that was quite a fun change to ride on. It felt like we had 3 surfaces to play on - Slickrock, hard pack dirt and hard pack light snow over either of the other two.
Pretty pictures are easy to come by at Gooseberry.
Where is waldo? I was suprised how many of the pools had water in them - all of them were frozen solid.
Amber has started to get lifts down to a much more smooth, natural flow and she got better constantly throughout our riding on this trip.
A section of Hidden Canyon.
I really enjoyed the riding on Hidden Canyon it added even more variety and was consistent in it's technical challenges.
