While the temperatures reached a scorching 100 degrees down the valley, I decided to at the top of the world for the day. Actually, my whole family decided to go, my brother and his family wanted to go fishing at Logger's Lake which is by Snow Lake. I decided to ride my mountain bike along the Skyline Drive. Skyline Drive is a scenic dirt road that goes along on top of the Manti La Sal National Forest mountain range in Sanpete County. It can go more than 80 miles. I started my ride northbound from the Ephraim Canyon Junction and passed the Horseshoes and South and North Tent Mountains until I got to 15 miles which is by almost to Mount Pleasant Canyon turnoff. Then I turned around there and headed back to the car. I did a total 30 miles but I was going to shoot for 40-50 miles but after 5 minutes after starting riding I could feel my legs hurt and sore from the last ride last Thursday with Chris my boss riding up the Canyon Road for an hour and a half until the Pioneer Trail and went down the Pioneer Trail. So on the Skyline Drive, I took it easy and enjoyed the fantastic scenery of Manti La Sal National Forest from the "Top Of The World". This road contains a lot of rolling hills at an elevation ranging from 10,000-11,000 feet. So the air was very thin and harder to breathe in. I enjoyed the ride very much because of the cooler temperatures and the scenery.
