Hill and Dale

A new favorite ride is a loop from the Strawberry River turnoff, following Willow Creek, then Co-op Creek, with cross country game trails in between. 

We see plenty of healthy aspen groves with a mix of old and new trees. The horses enjoy the tall grass that grows in the groves.

Sometimes they bare their teeth to avoid the prickles and bite off a thistle flower for dessert.

We have views of Strawberry Reservoir,

and an occasional glimpse of Timpanogas in the Wasatch Range.

The lush valley shown above was formed from a series of silted-in beaver dams. 

Along Co-op Creek, many beaver dams remain active.  This beaver lodge has fresh sticks on top with greenery still intact.  The beaver have been busy.
