Quick Post About the Weekend

We've had some afternoon showers the past few days and it's the first rain we've got for a least a month around here.  The result has been mud/rock slides in most of the nearby canyons.  Little Cottonwood was closed several times over the weekend and I know Big Cottonwood and Millcreek Canyons have had slides as well.  I new Butterfield would be ugly but I gave it a try on Saturday anyway.  I only got past the steep part before the road disappeared under the rocks and mud.  I already had to be very careful up to that point because of the rocks washed across the road but now it was unrideable.  So instead of going to the top I decided the do repeats of the the steep section in order to get my monies worth out of Butterfield Canyon.  

Butterfield Canyon Road after the steepest section.  As you can see, unrideable on a road bike.
