Beaver Creek (Logan Canyon)
Beaver Creek is a smooth dirt road near the top of Logan Canyon. The hard-core use it to access other rides, but it makes a scenic and pleasant family outing. You can start from the trailer-parking area, drive part-way up to start the ride, or drive the family vehicle way uphill for a gentle and long downhill cruise. You decide how hard to work. Aerobically, this uphill ride is fairly easy. The climb up the Beaver Creek road is smooth and fast, with a steady gentle slope. In some spots in some seasons, there's a bit of crushed rock on the surface that makes the climbing less pleasant for small wheels.
