Wasatch Crest at 10,000 feet from Big Cottonwood into Mill Creek Canyon

The Wasatch Crest Trail is Spectacular.

I could end this post here and hopefully that would be enough to get the main point across. For those unfamiliar with it, the Wasatch Crest Trail is a segment of the Great Western Trail which runs all the way from Canada to Mexico. The stretch Julie and I went on begins in Upper Big Cottonwood Canyon between Brighton and Solitude, climbs up to 10,000 foot elevation, and then follows the ridgeline above Park City and The Canyons before dropping into Mill Creek Canyon.

Here's the GPS track overlaid on Google Maps

Here's a video from our experience but it doesn't come close to doing it justice. You have to experience the mountain scenery for yourself being that high up on a ridgeline and looking down on everything. Be sure to watch till the end of this clip to see video evidence of Julie getting passed by a cyclist while driving the Vette. I don't know if we can ever live down that embarrassment!
