AF Canyon ride w/pics

[purogringo]

Had an awesome ride today up American Fork Canyon. Before we've gone up Tibble Fork side but today we went up Timpanagos/Cascade Spring side. What a good decision! What an awesome ride! Nice and easy up the road, good amount of powder to play in, hardly any people.....but nothing could beat the views!! Amazing!! What a beautiful ride.

K-Dog,

This is up American Fork canyon....from I-15 take the Alpine/Cabelas exit and follow it all the way east and go up the canyon. You'll have to pay $6 at the guard shack. Keep following the road up. The road will split: if you go left it'll take you to Tibble Fork area, or if you go right you can get to Timpanogas/Cascade Spring area.

You can google for the "Wasatch Complex" and find a map of the area. Gorgeous ride!!

And correct me if I am wrong, but I believe the Mirror Lake Hwy 150 annual pass covers American Fork Canyon (Alpine Loop) as well if you have one of those!

It sure does! only $40 for the entire year!

Thanks for the info guys, which side is better to launch from.... looking for the steepest technical areas

So if you buy the annual pass at AF Canyon, does that work for Mirror Lake too????
