Default Today's ride to Swett Ranch

I'm a lucky guy.
High clouds, mid 40's at the house,(5,700') and I say "lets pack a lunch and go up north", Kim's response "OK".
We see 36 degrees going over Grizzly Ridge at 8,500'. Stopped at the Greendale, AKA Swett ranch overlook and sat at the picnic table and had lunch.
Springtime in the Rockies!

Beautiful.
I see you still have a lot of snow at not very high elevations despite the warm weather.

Utah is some beautiful country. I spent a couple of years out here working on government project back in the 80's.
