The day dawned dark and gloomy as clouds filled the skies.  Four Skys and Sols met at the Best Buy in South Salt Lake before beginning our trip. After a short drivers' meeting, we decided to head up Emigration Canyon, following a historic pioner trail, at the beginning of our run. Tom led the way up the twisty, winding road as we effortlessly glided past cyclists who were working hard at making the ascent. We took a break in the cool morning air, to appreciate the beauty of the mountains, the great cars, and fantastic company.

 

Dave took the lead as we headed in to East Canyon. There were sharp curves and narrow shoulders to keep an eye on. Red rock was strewn across the roads from the spring thaw yet we could see it snowing on top of the mountains. Spring was in the air. The hillsides were covered with sunflowers, and lilacs were in bloom. The sun started to peek out from behind the clouds to show off the beutiful snow capped peaks and lush green hillsides. Just as quickly as the sun came out, it tucked behind a cloud again and the rain began to sprinkle down and then turned into heavy rain. As quickly as it started the rain ebbed, and we stopped in Mountain Green at the Farm Market for a break before taking the Trappers Loop Run up to Eden for lunch. This scenic road took us over another mountain top and wrapped around lakes, passed log cabins, horse farms and was truly beautiful. Harley and Buck's Grill was ready for us and served a delicious lunch. After lunch, we headed in different diretions to get home. We had a great time, hope to see you all on another ride soon.
