Personal:

The expectation of peace and safety on public land outweighs dog owners' rights. You don't have to have a dog, but you do have the right to free travel. The bigger responsibility falls on the dog owner.

Dedcided I needed to get a good grinder in on a sweet trail. So, hit Bryce's Snowbasin half+ starting at Wheelers. Climb up wheelers to Art Nord felt good. About half way up East Fork A herd of Turkeys were crossing the trail so, waited for them for a minute. Pretty cool sight though there were about 30 of them. Then towards the top of East Fork three huge COWS were in the trail and not wanting to move. Took a few minutes and some stick throwing to get them to wander off the trail.

Once up on Green Pond trail - I remembered how nice that trail is. Great section over to ski hill at snowbasin. Cruised along Green pond over to needles and maples trails. Dropped down Wheeler trail - Ice Box (which is perfect right now!!) and back down wheelers. Great run with my run up Green Pond after missing the Needles connection I had it at 13.47 with 3007 Vert. in 2:28. Had to deal with a ton of mtn bikes / turkeys / Cows.

Had at least three hikers say - look this guys running this.. That always makes me try a little harder!!

Great day under the Blue Dome.

I'm converting to the Blue Dome. When is the next session? Big miles and nice work.

Wild one indeed. Nice mileage and vertage! Glad you got some double D.
