Bicycle touring on single track in the Utah wilderness is a must do adventure. Wardsworth Creek Trail is just at the end of the paved road of Hobble Creek canyon right fork. Saying right fork can be confusing sense originally it was called left fork. Some locals still call it left fork. When the canyons were named they were viewed from the opposite direction than you would think. Just turn right at the fork past the golf coarse. You know you are going the right direction if you are passing camp grounds instead of large human dwellings. The last official camp ground on that road is Basalm Campground were you would be just a few minutes more to the Wardsworth trail head.
The trail can be challenging so pack light and tight for better maneuverability and watch for hidden rocks in the grass next to the narrow trails. A trailer can be very difficult on this trail.
It was perfect weather to bring up a scout group at the later part of a Friday. It is a short trail so we arrived at our destination early enough to get in some fishing and cook them over a campfire. Camping can be tight in this small canyon. We had to clear out some downfall to make a camp big enough to fit 9 of us. Very tight!
Hindsight:
* perfect situation for hammock camping
* make sure everyone has a helmet so you don't have to loan yours.
*bring sandals for camp
