TRIP TO BIG COTTONWOOD CANYON

Yesterday we discussed going to Cottonwood Canyon…We decided to go this morning and take a lunch where we could have a picnic at one of the picnic sights…We went all the way to the top and started taking pictures on the way down…We climbed from around 4000 feet to above 10,000 feet…We wanted to take our time and drive around 35 to 45 miles per hour…It seems that the drivers in Salt Lake area are very aggressive in their driving habits…The speed limit as posted was 45 and in some places 30…This is a National Forrest and we thought driving the speed limit would not hold up the traffic…Wrong…We would pull off anytime there were three or more cars behind us…We had to  pull over about every mile and let the cars pass…We could not enjoy the scenery because of the road rage these drivers were demonstrating…We did take some pictures and they do not do justice for the beauty of the area…This being a National Forrest we thought we would pull into one of the picnic areas and have our picnic…Well we could stop and use the picnic area for lunch if we would pay $7.00 for the use of a table…We decided to pull off on the side of the road and eat in the car…It is hard to understand this…Here are the pictures…Enjoy…Philip    Talk to you later…Philip
