Dedcided I needed to get a good grinder in on a sweet trail. So, hit Bryce's Snowbasin half+ starting at Wheelers. Climb up wheelers to Art Nord felt good. About half way up East Fork A herd of Turkeys were crossing the trail so, waited for them for a minute. Pretty cool sight though there were about 30 of them. Then towards the top of East Fork three huge COWS were in the trail and not wanting to move. Took a few minutes and some stick throwing to get them to wander off the trail.
Once up on Green Pond trail - I remembered how nice that trail is. Great section over to ski hill at snowbasin. Cruised along Green pond over to needles and maples trails. Dropped down Wheeler trail - Ice Box (which is perfect right now!!) and back down wheelers. Great run with my run up Green Pond after missing the Needles connection I had it at 13.47 with 3007 Vert. in 2:28. Had to deal with a ton of mtn bikes / turkeys / Cows.
Had at least three hikers say - look this guys running this.. That always makes me try a little harder!!
Great day under the Blue Dome. |
