Title: Morning Ride
Post by: MidnightRambler on September 01, 2013, 09:56:41 AM
Took about a 2 1/2 hour trip from Farmington, UT up to the Eden area where the Snowbasin, Powder Mountain slopes are.  Fun riding and decently maintained roads.  Anywhere here are a few pics.

Nice, thanks for posting  [thumbsup]

Looks pretty windswept - few tall trees. What kind of elevation are you at in those mountains?

Sweet! Thanks for posting. I like that ride too. Here's the route we usually take. http://goo.gl/maps/7kqCD (http://goo.gl/maps/7kqCD). Met some french guys touring on Harleys a couple of years ago. A couple of them had Ducs at home. Met at a gas station outside of Huntsville and they left before us. About 5 miles back out, they were lined up alongside the road fist pumping like Rossi's pit crew. Didn't know what to make if it, so I slowed down [roll], then realized they were egging me on.

Some of my favorite riding there coming out of Salt Lake City, so I'll answer for Mr. Rambler. Probably between 10,000 and 11,000 feet at the peaks, with the roads bumping between 6,000 ft and 8,000 ft.
