Northern Utah Bountiful Canyon (Old Ward)

That sweatshirt really puts it in perspective.

what about running pilings down through the slide out area on the north side of the washout (downhill area) . And then filling it back up with rock and road base material. I'm by no means a road engineer, but it seems like an easy to fix it. A large enough excavator could easily push the pilings into the ground, then cut the upper bank out a bit to fill the area back in.

Anyone have some contacts that could do that? I don't here in Utah unfortunately.

I would hope it could be, Old Ward is a fun local trail. Good memories running that in the snow back when I had my Trooper. Sawtooth, you were there too, from what I recall.

Yes back when I first moved here. I had my Range Rover. I pulled that stuck jeep all the way up out of the hole he was in. I think he had camped there overnight, because he was stuck. LOL

I remembered your Rover, but had completely forgotten about the Jeep you pulled out. Dude was halfway down the mountain.

I ran up there Wednesday and Saturday and we probably lost another foot of dirt from my photos earlier.

Did this ever get fixed? I was thinking of doing some wheeling in the area

Nope. It is likely worse now. You can go up the main road and come down Old Ward to the lower meadow, then turn around and go back up to the main road.

Wow. Pretty soon you won't even be able to get a moto past there!

That’s what I said. @Gravy suggested wall ride. I offered to take video. 🤣

The washout is now completely washed out... You might could get still get a moto past, but not a 400+ lb Ducati.

I'm planning to go up and do some shoveling if anyone is down for a work trip.

You can bring a 4x4 to this point fairly easily, but it will require a good amount of backing up. Afterwards.

I ain't got no moto, but I'd be down to ride mountain bikes down from the top? Pretty certain I can ride with a pulaski strapped to my back.

I predict a similar outcome.
