Mule Riding, Canyoneering, and Skiing Into a Pool: Part Two of Uniquely Utah Adventures

If there's one word that defines Utah, it just might be adventure. From the adrenaline-pumping to the meditative, the outdoors in Utah is a veritable playground for exploration. In Part One of Uniquely Utah adventures, we spent the morning fly fishing on the teal waters of Flaming Gorge, followed by an afternoon of mountain biking, chasing sharp turns with a pro rider.In Part Two, follow along as we ride on muleback to trace the steps of ghostly gunslingers through narrow slot canyons, rappel over the sides of redstone cliffs (sometimes directly into mud), and finally attempt the legendary 50-foot ski jump directly into a pool at Park City's Olympic Park.Thank you to everyone who featured in this episode: Fly fisherman Ryan Kelly at Flaming Gorge Expert canyoner and guide Micah Mansfield with East Zion Adventures Pro mountain biker Eric Porter in Park City Trail guide McClain from Meecham Outfitters Ski coach Ryan Devine from Park City's Olympic Park Two-time Olympic medalist Shannon Bahkre PLAN YOUR UTAH TRIPIf you want to learn more about experiencing the sights and attractions featured in this episode, go to VisitUtah.com or follow along on social media @VisitUtah.
