Thanks I hope to get better shots some day, but I can not stop in some areas due to being considered an avalanche zone until may 15th. I do have to watch for Moose, and rocks the size of a 30 gallon aquarium in the road , Some blind corners and Those Pesky WRX's riding your bumper on the strait parts But they tend to slam on thier brakes around the corners where I keep at the same rate of speed. I love the twistys there is 1 strip thats 3 miles in the canyon that has 2 hairpins which are connected like an S with a 150ft elevation change I love going threw there in the upper rpm range on 2nd gear cause the exhaust note echoing is amazing. I am adjusting well in the valley it is around 55* but towards the top of the canyon it is in the mid 30's The sun does seem to more intense here than in Texas . Neither Liisa or I were cold when driving with the top down around 55mph with the heat on . I did have a headache for a solid 3 days which is from adjusting to the thinner air. And I get winder quicker riding my bike a 3 mile ride here is like a 15 mile ride in Tx. I plan on driving a little over an hr west to the SaltFlats and getting some pictures there maybe some action shots !


Here's a link to google maps of the road if you zoom out I live on the Murray/Cottonwood border So its a 10minute drive to the canyon .The deep snow pics were taken in Brighton. I wanted to goto Parkcity but the roads are closed

Beautiful! It's the dry in the air that makes it feel less cold. The humidity here summer and winter is what causes the bone chillin' cold and sweat everything out of you body heat. Glad you're doing well.

Jealous of the roads around you. That 92 thru Sundance looks like fun. Watch out for rocks and deer, the moose you can drive under between the legs.

Beautiful shots. Keep up the good work. Drive carefully.

One of my favorite commercials.
