A place to read about my Adventures with My Sweet Wife, "My Three Son's" and my Mountian Running Adventures.
About Me
- mountainrunnermike
- I am a Husband to my beautiful sweet wife Vickie, and a Father to "My Three Sons" Cotton, Tristan, and Justus. One of my greatest strengths is running long distances. I am not fast, but I can go forever. My favorite surfaces are high incline altitudes loaded with rocks, ruts, scree. I have completed 7 Squaw Peak 50 miler ultramarathons, 2 Wasatch 100 ultramarathons, 1 Katcina Mosa 100k, one Ten Peaks Utah ultra of 32 miles and one Bonneville Shoreline Trail Marathon, and countless 8 hour training runs through the Wasatch Mountains. I did one road marathon and swore to never do one again. If it is not on dirt I don't touch it. I prefer snowshoeing in the winter for conditioning and will post some great pictures of the Wasatch mountains covered in snow this winter.

Mineral Basin
I left Friday morning from Tibble Fork Reservoir and decided I was going to go all the way to Mineral Basin. Mineral Basin leads to the back side of Snowbird Ski Resort. I have left to do this several times but always get distracted with a different route as the dirt road leaving Tibble Fork is kind of boring.
I persevered and got above the campers. I not only made it to mineral basin but also Ant Knolls which is an aid station on the Wasatch 100 course. Ant Knolls is on the back side of Brighton Ski Resort.
I ran into a few mines and also some jeep roads that have turned into streams as the snow is still melting up high.
One of the most beautiful runs I have been on.
