Part #2 of 3 of my first and only ride on the "5 Miles of Hell Trail" in Utah near Green River, UT
My friend Barca was acting as my tour guide since I believe this was his 3rd or 4th time riding this trail.

As it turns out, the trail is actually 8 miles long, not counting the 4X4 Access to and from the trail loop. And as far as I'm concerned, it's name should be "The 8 Miles of Heaven Trail"

We were using Helmet Communicators. Normally, only my muffled voice comes through on any videos, but THIS time, I took the right hand helmet speaker and taped it outside of my helmet directly under the microphone hole on the Contour Sports Cam.
I would love to go back and get a second chance. Trying to read the terrain for good tire placement while keeping track of where the next paint mark is was making things difficult. I saw so many better routes over solid rock but was committed to follow the paint markers.

I had the unfair advantage since my 300cc Spanish Trials Competition Motorcycle is built for this type of terrain and weighs only 140 Pounds. I tried to ride Barca's Yamaha on the Jeep road and couldn't believe that he had just ridden that hunk of iron through those rocks.
