Took my son-in-law for a ride up to Thorn Creek Butte. There is a fire watch tower up there with a good view of the mountains in all direction. He hasn't ridden a bike for a few years and is not super experienced, but had a good time and only dumped it once in some sand.
Here we are on the road along Arrow Rock Reservoir on the way to the road that heads up into the hills.
Heading up, near the top. Good views of the mountains in the distance once you get up there.
Gotta stop once in a while to enjoy the view.
The view from the tower looking back toward the bikes, a couple of four wheeled vehicles that had also come up there, and the mountains in the distance.
We stopped for lunch on the way down at the only set of picnic tables on the whole mountain that I know of.
