Due to the lack of authenticity of "mountain" biking in Lubbock, it was my goal to get in some actual mountain biking with actual elevation changes while staying in Salt Lake City.  One of my co-workers was gracious enough to guide me and patient enough to take pictures of me in his ample amounts of spare time waiting for me to catch up.  I was so slow and oxygen deprived that many of the "action shots" of me are a small dot on the opposite peak. Most of the pics were taken on the Bonneville Shoreline trail north of SLC.

Steph and I tried to be adventurous this past weekend and get some hiking in at Big Cottonwood Canyon to Dog Lake. Unfortunately the snowfall, lack of light and miscalculation of time allotted were not in our favor.  We shall try again this weekend.  We did manage to get a few pics before turning back:

As part of our hectic schedule recently, Steph and I had a day of traveling from Lubbock to Salt Lake City that included some scenic driving along Interstate 70.  It was the perfect time of year to do so. Here are a few pics Stephanie snapped along the way.
