Good times up Millville and Providence Canyons (Cache Valley)

[theferg]

Went wheelin' up Millville and Providence canyons two nights ago. Went up Millville and almost made it up THE GIANT RUT in my 60, but ended up breaking a motor mount instead... And the other two rigs with us couldn't even get up to the start of the rut... There was probably abuot 18 inches snow on the road. Headed down and went up Providence canyon. Made up on top of The Quarry but couldn't get much farther as it got SUPER steep and about 20-24 inches of snow or so and none of us had chains. Good times though. And I got to pull out a stuck Dodge Ram I have to say that I am loving my MT/R's. I was only close to stuck once and I managed to get out without a tug. Here's a few pics.

Had to pull Cody out right here. He was just going super slow when he tried to get through this drift.

Hey..........I was up there with MY JEEP........

This is the only Jeep we saw up there. Full of 5 or 6 high school kids. Havin' the time of their lives. EDIT: I take that back. I'm pretty sure we passed a cherokee that was headed up when we were headed down...

Wow, sweet ass sweet, I LOVE SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love pullin' folks out too. Where are some other good places to find 2' of snow that isn't controlled by sledders?

 

[Floppy Hat]

I haven't been up to check them out yet, but this fall I found some places with some snow wheeling potential.

Does anyone know if Main Canyon (East of Wallsburg) is gated or used by sledders? I'm interested in the Wallsburg side as I know the top of Main Canyon sees it's fair share of sleds. Another potential area is the road South of Wallsburg that leads over to Hobble Creek Canyon. I'm hoping to go check these two out soon.

Cool fun, I dig Providence in any weather. We had a fun snow run up there about a month ago. BTW, how did you get up Millville? I thought the FS/DWR closed it a few months ago........??

They just closed the deer fence. You just have to open it to go through and close it after yourself.
