 Ria started riding her mustang, Ixcha, on June 15th at the Arizona border and rode up the Paria River to Kodachrome Basin. 
 
 
 
 She crossed highway 12 and climbed onto the 10,000 foot Aquarious Plato, across the plato and down to the Fremont River near Bicknell, Ut. 
Then it was up again into the Thousand Lakes Mounntains.
 

 

 
 
She had her mom driving the sag wagon and her dad riding as navigator.
 
     
 
The Wasatch Plateau
 After traversing the Fish Lake Mountains and crossing I-70 she climbed on to the Wasatch Plato and joined the Skyline Drive following it for 110 miles to Highway 6.
Still heading north she climbed out of the Spanish Fork Canyon, over the Strawberry Ridge and dropped down to Strawberry Resivour and Highway 40.
 Being only 16 miles from her house in Heber City at this point she took a couple days rest at home before continue the journey to Idaho.
 
 
 
Picking up where she left off at Highway 40 she rode up Co-op Creek into the Southern Uinta Mountains, crossing both the South and North Forks of the Provo River before climbing into the High Uintas.
 
 
She dropped off the northern end of the Uintas into Chaulk Creek.  Do to issues with land owners she was force to go to Evanston Wyoming to get into the Monte Cristo Mountains and continue north to her destination.
