Tarzan - Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to find where the Porter Rockwell Trail ends. Destination - Draper, Utah off of Bangerter Highway. Mission start time: 5:00 p.m. Tarzan headed south and west from Bangerter to see what she could see. There was a lovely view of the State Penitentiary. Some beautiful gravel pits. Some drifting snow and some ice to run through. Mission successful - trail ends approximately 2 miles later at Geneva Rock. I found the end of the trail, then headed back to where I parked. I crossed the highway and ran about 1/5 of a mile down the other portion of the Porter Rockwell Trail, then dropped down to the Draper Canal Trail for the rest of my run. When I finally headed back west on the Canal Trail, I found that it ended right across from where I had left my car. This would be another good alternate location to start on Saturday. It is only about a mile off the freeway - so let me know if you want me to change the starting location and write down directions. I am excited. Basically, I found tonight that I could head out from my townhouse, get on the Trax trail, run it to the end, get on Porter Rockwell trail, run it to the end, and swing back on the Draper Canal Trail and head over to the Trax Trail. I could easily put in 20-25 miles or more, with only about 3 miles total on side roads. Used the foam roller on my back and legs. Added some complexity with a small critter running up and trying to balance on my back, so had to maintain stability.
