Went with Jun to run/climb Lake Mountain by Utah Lake. It was drizzling on the way out there and the mountain was enveloped in clouds, so I wasn't exactly sure what the weather was going to do, but it ended up being pretty nice. The run didn't turn out so well. We got lost trying to find the right road/trail to the top, and ended up running on several muddy, snowy roads/trails. Eventually we came to a steep gully, and we new that we were not in the right place, and it was obvious we were not going to get to the top without a serious bushwhack, and neither of us had any desire for that, so we decided to just get a few miles in on the dirt roads/trails around the mountain.

There were a few sections that were a lot of fun, and others that were tedious with all of the mud and snow. It was very disappointing to see all of the garbage and debris left my rednecks and shooters out there. We saw endless amounts of beer cans, shot gun shells, exploded clay pidgins, and various other discarded items. We also passed a few parties that were shooting, and that always makes me a little nervous.

Even though we didn't get to the top, we had a great time, and the views of the calley below were fantastic. We will be back to bag this baby.

 This was the first time I ran in my new trail shoes and they felt really good, although they sure got dirty.

Sounds like you had some fun exploring the mountain. It is disheartening to see the littering. Glad you tried out your new trail shoes. I'm sure there will be better conditions in the near future to make it successful!

What an adventure you boys had!

Glad you liked your shoes ... so sad about the litter everywhere. What's wrong with people?

That's what Saturday's are for. Playing in the mud.

Let's get a group of bloggers together in the spring and run Lake Mountain with garbage bags in or hands. Make it a run in, pack it out event.

Sorry about your pretty new shoes. But that's what it is all about, right? We need to plan something for this coming saturday. Maybe back up to Bountiful, or City Creek, or one of the BST trails in the UC. Think about it.

Glad you had a good time, what better way to break your shoes in?

Dang Rednecks!!!

I'm really ok with my pretty new shoes getting muddy. I plan on adding plenty of dirt to them this year.

I was thinking that someone with access to some scouts should set up a service project out there. Matt- a FRB group would also be fun. A summit run, followed by a few hours of picking up garbage. I would be in for sure.

I hate litter and people who do it! Sorry it did not turn out so great, but spring is coming and those trails will get better.
