My Morning BLT

Probably was not what you were thinking......

Seems I have been on the road bike so much, my BLT had to be feeling left out. I woke up early, was drinking coffee and reading the paper and decided....best get out of the house. So with a quick change of clothes and grabbing a few things, I knocked the dust off the BLT and off I went....

I hit the Little Cottonwood Creek trail, which is an epic little ride. It is up Little Cottonwood Canyon(Snowbird & Alta ski resorts) and such a beatiful place. It is an out and back, 7 total miles, 1300' vertical of climbing and then you get to fly back down that.

Base Camp....

Tough to see, but there is a little creek running down that slope and under the trail right here. Why it prompted me to take a pic....I am not sure.

This photo does not do the trail justice, it is not all like this, but when it is....you better pick a good line and keep your legs pumping.

...and it gets worse..... I didn't make this section and it was hike a bike....

When you get to the top, there is a ruin of some sort.... You can see it across the creek there, just an old rock structure...
