Spring is coming in slow here in Utah. The mountains are still deep in snow and everything else is wet.
I'm dying to get riding again. I don't do much winter riding because my schooling eats up my time.

I got to thinkin. What's my favorite season of the year to go riding in?

The glory of Utah is that we do have 4 very different seasons. It's hot and dry in the summer and it's cold and dry in the winter. We are hurting for water and rain in the summer and have the some of the best skiing in the world during the winter. Therefore each time I go out it's different.

I'm not a big fan of summer riding. I hate the heat and so to get to where it's cool we've got to go way up in the mountains. It's beautiful, but sometimes that takes more time than I can afford to spend.

Fall is BEAUTIFUL! I love the leaves. I love the cool weather. And I can scout for deer while I'm out.

Winter is cold and the snow gets deep enough on our land to make me not even want to try. We usually stick to the arenas and my little bro practices his roping and laughs as I try it and end up looking like a fool.

Spring is fresh, clear and beautiful. I love it, but it is muddy everywhere. It's worth it though especially after a long winter.

So...after my aimless rambling, I'd say my favorite season would have to be spring. Probably due to the lack of winter riding, but the mountains are just beautiful when they green up. It's cool and clear.

So what's your favorite season and why?
