Summer in Park City, UT

Because we're busy building up our Race Day Timing business, we didn't take our usual all-summer-long RV trip. Instead, we made our base at the Park City RV Resort, and traveled to timing events from there. Better than dealing with the sweltering heat of St. George all summer...

In our free time we enjoyed the incredible cycling in around the Park City area, both on and off road. Here are some of my favorite pics:

Mid-Mountain Trail overlooking Park City. This trail is about 25 miles of singletrack starting in Deer Valley and ending near The Canyons.
Part of the bike path that starts at the bottom of Provo Canyon. We rode this on the way back to Deer Creek Reservoir after riding the Alpine Loop.
Waiting for the bus in Park City to take us to Silver Lake Lodge in Deer Valley.
The moose we saw at the top of Big Cottonwood Canyon (a 15 mile climb from Salt Lake area to Brighton ski resort.
Funky lawn art in Snyderville, UT off a little dirt path on the way back from the Mid-Mountain trail.
Our friend, Brook, from St. George, joined us for some fun on the Mid-Mountain Trail. Yep, it's definitely our favorite trail - and we've ridden it a LOT this summer!
Brian and our friend, Martin, from So Cal, riding the Mid-Mountain Trail.
The top of the Alpine Loop, which we rode from the Sundance Side. Over 3,000' of climbing in just under 9 miles.
Bridal Veil Falls. A view from the bike path in Provo Canyon. Awesome!
One of the many, uh... interesting, sites along the Mirror Lake Scenic Byway which runs between Kamas, UT and Evanstan, WY. We didn't ride all the way to Evanston, but we had a great day anyway!
