Thanks guys. I wanted to ride to Alaska this month but money's tight so I'll just go to the canyons a lot

Oh, and there are a lot of cops in Big Cottonwood Canyon. One of them was sitting just east of Spruces with his radar gun pointed west. Fortunately, I was hoping to see moose (mooses? meece?) so I was just putting along
