Mid-Mountain Madness

So Andy picked up a trail map of some bike trails around Park City, and I think he's worn a hole through it from looking at it every night. :) (Needless to say, he's pretty excited about getting out on his bike each day.) We've been on two pretty big bike rides this week. With 325 miles of bike trails in Park City alone, we've got a lot of options for riding. Yesterday was a crazy ride! We started at Deer Valley Resort and rode the Mid-Mountain trail (you're basically midway up the mountain--about the 8000 ft. elevation level) to the Park City Mountain Resort. It was a 13-mile ride on a single track dirt trail, meaning you were pretty close to the trees and bushes on either side of you. It was hard to look around at the scenery because you really had to watch where you were going. Some parts of the trails crossed over ski runs, so that was nice to get a sneak peek at those for the upcoming winter. We didn't see any wildlife on this particular ride, but on Monday's ride we saw a dead snake and a mama moose with her calf. Enjoy!
