4-Day Trip to the Great Salt Lake: 2010

[SpudRider]

In the middle of September we were enjoying beautiful weather, so I decided to ride my Zong on my annual trip to the Great Salt Lake. I loaded up my J.C. Whitney travel trunk, and headed south to the Arbon Valley. Earlier in the fall, a forest fire burned just east of Arbon; fortunately, some welcome rainfall descended to limit the damage.



Stopping in Arbon, I paused to examine the hay harvest of a local farmer.



The Arbon Valley is beautiful, and sparsely populated; I always enjoy riding there.



Some of the wheat had not yet been harvested, so I paused to take a few photographs of the “amber waves of grain.”





Traveling farther south, I approached a familiar peak.



The panorama of the Arbon Valley to the north from this peak is wonderful. Here are a few photographs I took from this peak on a different, earlier ride.







This day I continued riding toward Utah. However, I paused again in front of another familiar peak.



The view of the Arbon Valley to the to the west, and south, is superb from this mountaintop; here are a few photos I took from this peak on an earlier ride.







With many miles yet to travel this day, I continued riding southward to the Great Salt Lake.
