We ventured up Logan canyon yesterday morning to ride one of the better shuttle rides up the canyon. It was surprisingly warm at the Tony Grove trailhead at 8100 feet when we arrived at 8:00 am. The rain the previous night did a lot to settle down the dust, and the cattle have been moved out of the area!! We got rained on a bit and were in the middle of an impressive electrical storm. All around, a great day to be on a bike.

Resting at the top, but not for very long as the storm rolled in

If anybody has a few hours to spare in Logan Canyon, I highly recommend this ride. 2.5 miles of modest climbing (750') followed by 8 miles of singletrack descending bliss (2500').
