Outing Highlights

THE ROUTE

Logan Canyon’s Legendary Curves

The drive threads the canyon’s storied switchbacks as you climb: the road quiets, the forest tightens and the air cools, a steady change in rhythm that defines the approach to the high country.

THE MACHINES

Authentic Classic Cars

Depending on availability and the number of participants, the tour may use icons such as a Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 (replica), a Volkswagen T1 “Mango” Bus, or an AMC Jeep CJ7 V8 (1981) — raw, vintage machines that require attention and respect.

THE DESTINATION

Tony Grove Lake’s Alpine Meads

The endpoint is Tony Grove Lake, a high alpine basin ringed by open meadows, wildflowers and panoramic mountain views — a place to step out, photograph and breathe before a relaxed descent.

The ascent cools the air and narrows the soundtrack to engine and wind; at Tony Grove Lake the pace slows — a walk, photos and a signature snack break — before a calm, grounded return through the canyon.
