Silver Reef is a ghost town in Washington County, Utah, United States, about 15 miles northeast of St. George and 1 mile west of Leeds. Silver Reef was established after John Kemple, a prospector from Nevada, discovered a vein of silver in a sandstone formation in 1866. At first, geologists were uncertain about Kemple's find because silver is not usually found in sandstone. In 1875, two bankers from Salt Lake City sent William Barbee to the site to stake mining claims. He staked 21 claims, and an influx of miners came to work Barbee's claims and to stake their own. To accommodate the miners, Barbee established a town called Bonanza City. Property values there were high, so several miners settled on a ridge to the north of it and named their settlement Rockpile. The town was renamed Silver Reef after silver mines in nearby Pioche closed and businessmen arrived. By 1879, about 2,000 people were living in Silver Reef. The town had a mile-long Main Street with many businesses, among them a Wells Fargo office, the Rice Building, and the Cosmopolitan Restaurant. Although adjacent to many settlements with a majority of Mormon residents, the town never had a meeting house for Latter-day Saints, only a Catholic church. In 1879, a fire destroyed several businesses, but the residents rebuilt them. Mines were gradually closed, most of them by 1884, as the worldwide price of silver dropped. By 1901, most of the buildings in town had either been demolished or moved to Leeds. In 1916, mining operations in Silver Reef resumed under the direction of Alex Colbath, who organized the area's mines into the Silver Reef Consolidated Mining Company. These mines were purchased by American Smelting and Refining Company in 1928, but the company did minimal work as a result of the Great Depression. The Western Gold & Uranium Corporation purchased Silver Reef's mines in 1948, and in 1951, they began mining uranium in the area. These operations did not last long either, and the Western Gold & Uranium Corporation sold their mines to the 5M Corporation in 1979. Today, the Wells Fargo office, the Cosmopolitan Restaurant, the Rice Building, and numerous foundations and walls remain in the town site, and a few dozen homes have been constructed in the area.

Nephi's Twist Trail: Epic Utah Mountain Biking

Keeping it local is the mantra when working on this video for River Rock Roasting Company and mountain biker Lorin Whitaker. River Roasting wanted to promote their new roast named a local trail located in the heart of a thriving mountain bike culture located in Southwest Utah.

Nephi's Twist is downhill mountain bike trail featuring amazing geology at every twist and turn and is within earshot of the small towns of Toquerville, Laverkin, Virgin and Hurricane, Utah. The area is home to some of Utah's best trail riding in the state and probably the country. Here is a little flavor of what the Nephi's Twist has to offer and while your in La Verkin, Utah stop by the hub of all your adventure activities and fuel up at River Rock Roasting Company which roast and brews Nephi's Twist Coffee.

Mountain Biking the trails in Price Utah, Lukes Area long version

A loop from the parking spot at the Lukes area trails in Price Utah. These are some fun cross country trails with several shorter or longer loop options. There are lots of twists & turns, never really fast but lots of fun stuff. It's great to see the locals building some great trails in an area that has not been know for mountain biking in the past.
This is the longer version of the video. I also loaded a shorter version if you want to get an idea of what the trails are like without watching for so long.

Mountain Biking: Grafton Mesa, Hurricane, Utah

Another great ride in the Hurricane/Virgin Utah area. This is highlights from the Over The Edge group ride. Some great stuff on Grafton.

Insane Downhill Tech Trail in Utah

We loved this double black trail in Grafton, Utah. It progressively got more fun and hard as the trail went on. It had long and rocky technical descents that lead to some faster and flowy trails. We also found a few freeride features such as jumps and drops scattered along the trail. Overall, this was our favorite trail we rode so far in Utah, so I hope it made for an enjoyable video.

Freeride Mountain Biking | Remy Metailler | Utah 2019

Virgin Free-ride lines from my last trip in Utah.

Last April I was lucky enough to head to Utah and ride my bike down some unique terrains. I had never ridden anything like that before.

We had only one day. It was hot and very windy so we had very limited options but I'm super happy with what we captured. It showcase what I like to do on a bike and what true freeride is. Definitely an unreal feeling to surf down those slopes like this on a bike. I can't thanks enough the two guys who filmed and edited that: Branson Kendall and Bryce Harper - Smith.

Mountain Biking in Utah | My Ultimate 48 State Road Trip

The next state up is Utah, where I meet up with my old buddy Evan Floodman for a few days. Once the weather cleared I made my way over to Eric Porter's to sample some of his local trails and ride his backyard with his boys. Sasha Yakovleff was rad enough to show me around the greater SLC area with one of the highlights being a trail he built in the woods following a solid afternoon at the I Street jumps with Brady Tweedy and the Lloyd boys. After a quick trip to the grocery store I found myself riding moto with some new friends right outside of Salt Lakel. After a solid week I made my way down to Moab to end it with some laps at the local dirt jump park and a ride down the infamous whole enchilada trail. Huge thanks to everyone who made Utah so awesome! It'll be a hard one to beat!

Gnarly downhill near Virgin Ut. Cliff-edge exposure, steep, loose boulder gardens and topped off with a couple massive road gaps. Starts out mellow, and gets nastier and nastier down the trail.
