Mineral Basin or Pole Line Pass to Mutual Dell

~

...by way of Ridge Trail 157.

It's gonna happen!

Soon!

Just need a ride up to Mineral Basin or Pole Line Pass.

Or maybe we'll ride up and back on the old dirt American Fork Canyon road above Tibble Fork...

I like the Ridge Trail 157 option better.

Mineral Basin

About a hundred years or so ago, as a Boy Scout, my troop went on a hike that went long. It turned into a 50-miler or so, but it wasn't planned that way. It was a 4 or 5 day excursion (if I remember correctly) that started somewhere along the Alpine Loop, then north skirting Forest Lake, into Mineral Basin and then down American Fork Canyon by way of Silver Lake.

I haven't been up that way in quite a while.

I'd like to get up there again.

Soon.

And I may have an excuse here in the next week or so. Jerry is coming home for a bit and he's bringing his mountain bike.

Maybe he'd be up to pedaling up American Fork Canyon into Mineral Basin. Maybe even hump it up to Pittsburg Lake!

I think it would be fun!

I'm going to ask him.

Anybody done it before? How's the road?
