Northern Utah Snake Creek Canyon 7-20

[Badger]

Going to take a quick trip up Snake Creek Canyon to see if you can get past the upper saddle. Was there a few weeks ago and it was still snowed in. Wondering if anybody wants to join me. Was going to go over Gaurdsman's then up the back side from Midway since it's the easiest way there from Sandy.

Need to head out at 8 am since the person going with me needs to be back by noon. This doesn't mean who ever goes can't take the long way out using pole line pass to AF canyon for more wheeling in the afternoon.

This is a trip report done by Herzog along time ago.

I would say the mouth of Big Cottonwood in the parking lot around 8~8:30 I want to be going up the canyon by 8:30. This is counting on the person who is riding with me to be on time.

Sorry if I missed you this morning. I waited till 8:30 and had to take off. Made it to the top and back to Sandy by 12 on the dot.

That's really neat, did your camera do that or do you have a program to stitch a bunch of stills together?

 

[Badger]

Phone does it..lol. Google camera with Kit-Kit and the right phone with the right sensors. Don't know if you noticed but you can grab the picture and see 360 in any direction...what I got to see you get to see from my feet to the sky.

That's awesome. I wish Google wasn't evil, because there's still some awesome stuff coming out of Labs.

 

[Badger]

Shit their all evil it's just a matter of what evils you want to deal with. I hate Apple with a passion....lol so that leaves me with either Winblows 8 or Android. Since every app you'll ever want is on droid and Winblows has nothing it's a bit obvious where your going.
