Skyline drive. To be honest. Their are 3 different skyline drives. One is down south some were (never been on it) two are at the "B". one is the paved road which the houses are on. Two is the dirt road from their. Some folks know this road under different names (skyline, ward canyon, old ward canyon) If you look at google maps. both trails are skyline drive. This (I think) were the miss understanding is. They are different.
Old ward canyon. This is the (as I hear it referred to) back road to buckland. This road, about 25 to 50 years (give or take) used to be the ONLY road up, when they installed the first pipeline. Then they made the other road to accommodate the traffic of folks that wanted to use this portion of mountain for camping and such.
Ward canyon is another name that folks now the main road.
An old forest service man by the name of (no joke) Fender. He was the head of the district for this area of davis. He really worked hard to maintain (along with the bountiful jeep dorks), take care of the area. He put together the camp sites, made them what they were. Made the little parking spot at dead mans curve ( the spot with all the cars at the bottom. now they have rocks to block them off) He made the look out (make out point, shooters point.) on the big turn were it has washed out. He started buckland flats, the little cove for camping just above buckland flats. He would grade the road for deer hunters. then when he quite. The new guy. He totally went the other direction. He started to block off little areas from were folks started making trails (which I helped with) to stop the damage done by snow machines and atvs. Then He went and started blocking off others. Things just went from their.
Bountiful jeep dorks. They used to be really great. They worked on keeping up hear in good shape. when people were lost. they helped find them. But in the last 5 years. They went south with the new forest service man. Now all they are good for is the bountiful parade.
The mud pits above the "B". They used not to look like they do now. They used to be better. Bountiful, a while ago (8 yearsish) went and took a grader up and dosed some dirt from the south face and shipped the dirt to the bountiful city dump... Since they have done that. The face washes out. Their use to be four trails that were fun as can be that went from the parking lot to the mud pits. Instead of just the one pit. Their used to have four. One realy easy. one a little deeper, one a little more deeper. the last one was the deepest and had a wall that you had to climb out of. The parking lot used to be that whole flat. Their was enough room for folks to unload their trucks and still play on the flat. Now, on bizy weekends it is hard to find a path.
Does anyone know of any other fun trail's up this way Davis/Weber Co? And yes I know about Skyline DR...
