We hit the road on a spontaneous trip to Utah for the weekend. Maddy and I always talked about doing the Portal trail. We've seen and heard lots of things about it soooooo we decided this weekend to do it. We started on day one at the Jackson Trail which is one of my favorites, I feel like not many people talk about it but its a fun one and has a lot of exposure that I figured would get us somewhat ready for Portal.
At the end of day one we googled the trail The Portal and quickly became fearful. All articles were titled "this is the deadliest trail in America". We did not really know what we were getting ourselves into. And more importantly we did not realize how much climbing it was to actually get to the trail. This was where I doubted ourselves. I figured by the time we would get to the trail we were going to be too exhausted to even be able to ride down. And like I predicted once we reached the top, we were smoked but so much excitement kicked in that it gave us a second wind of energy and I am so thankful for that. This was an experience of a lifetime and a trail that I have always been wondering about. Comment below let me know if you've done it or thinking of doing it. If you do decide to do it, you got this!!! Be careful and have fun.
Thank you for watching and hope to Catch you on a mountain near you.
