I took this picture along the Great Western Trail near Salamander Flat.
Fall is coming to its peak, and it feels like winter is very close by.
Oh yeah, and I hate noisy people on ATV’s that roar around the mountain
ruining the quiet. Maybe not all of them, just most.

People are always asking me what I do for a living .
I always tell them I dig big holes, put stuff in , and then bury them.
It’s a little more complicated than that, but I figured I could post a pic so people could see.

The leaves have started to change in American Fork Canyon. Biking in the mountains will soon be over for the year, and I will have to head south if I want to ride.

Went out on a ride with my cousin Kevin yesterday along the Timpooneke Road and some of the trails that take off from it. It was his first time going on a real ride. I don't think I punished him to bad and if so I am sure he will pay me back this winter on the slopes.
No wrecks, only a few close calls, an amazing sunset, and a stop off at the Owl bar for some suds ended a perfect day on the mountain.

So I tried a new mountain bike trail today in the hills above my house.
The trail was really steep going up and seemed to take forever, followed by a descent that, though going the exact same route felt all of about 30 seconds. Now I understand why everyone goes on about riding the lifts at the ski resorts.

This raging waterfall was one we passed on a hike on Mt. Timpanogos near where I live. It flows down the mountain carving out a huge channel in the snow pack, and avalanche areas from last winters snow. Down river it has carved a tunnel about 3 meters tall and 100 meters long under an avalanche slide. A family decided it was a good idea to climb around on the slide area even knowing there was a severe risk of the ice cavern giving way.....These are the people you hear about being air lifted to the hospital, or dying for lack of common sense.
