Bonneville Shoreline Trail. 4.5 miles. Most of the trail was hard packed snow, but there were a few short sections where the snow had melted and I could run on dirt.

I think we'll be on hardpack, slick snow for Saturday. I'll send an email later today to you and Scott confirming everything. Anyone else you want to invite?

Matt--I'll plan on joining you Saturday. I'm scheduled for a 13 miler. How does that fit in with what you are planning?

Jun - Last Saturday the trail was hard packed but not too slick. I emailed Scott directions and he is planning on coming. You can invite anyone else you want, the more the merrier.

Kam - To Elephant rock is 3.4 miles. If we turn around there it only gives you 6.8 miles. If someone wants to join me I plan on going further up to Rudy's flat, then down North Canyon to Bountiful Blvd, then 3 miles on road back to the start. For a total of about 14 miles. The trail above Elephant Rock is choppy and you might get your feet wet. If no one else wants to go up higher, I won't go alone because there has been some cougar activity up that way.
