The efficient elegance of the bicycle inspires and empowers many SLC cyclists towards a car-free lifestyle. After encountering some frustration with auto inspection/registration/parking in fall 2010, this guy experimented with seasonally parking his auto in the summer 2011. Most of us might agree that combustion of excessive amounts of petroleum is probably not the most ideal way for humans to spend our petroleum resources. All politics, altruism/idealism, impact minimization efforts aside, as imperfect, mortal human beings, we are all faced with owning some level of impact, and prioritization (interesting impact focused blog here). Personally, I struggle to conquer or substitute my 'oil burning ways' and/or desire for mountain recreation.
Recently, a very popular mountain bike route-Wasatch Crest Trail, normally requiring shuttling automobiles, has become accessible via public transit to SLC residents. I tested the route Wednesday, and took my camera along to share with y'all. Turn on the HD, and full screen this one! The fall colors were in full effect, and recent rain produced delectable forest scents and ideal trail conditions. Enjoy, explore (but know your limits), do some homework (even numbered days only) - this route has the potential to make a day very long.

This post features a video documenting the recent execution of the car-free Wasatch Crest Trail Shuttle. Thanks to Park City Mountain Resort adding the uphill-only Armstrong Trail, and UTA starting up the Park City Connect 902 line. The $ix Chairlift route was tested on Wednesday September 26....and it's GOOD!
