This morning I had a choice to make. I could do an easy run on the roads like I did yesterday or I could run up a mountain. Can you guess which one I chose?

I ran from my house to the top of Cave Peak. It is a small peak just East of Bountiful. It was about 2000 ft of elevation gain. I was surprised how nice the trail was. This trail is not well known and the trail head is difficult to find if you don't know where it is. I felt great this morning and wanted to do more but just didn't have time.

Sounds cool. How close is it to the one we bagged?

It's about 7 miles south of that peak. It's close to the Mueller Park Trail.
