but I'll never ride the trail coming down. There are way too many oblivious walkers, runners, dogs, etc not to mention the bumpy pavement from tree roots buckling the pavement. I don't live in UT county anymore so I haven't ridden the highway in years but back when I used to do it the shoulder was quite wide and I felt a whole lot safer riding down canyon there than on the trail. I would always ride the trail up canyon though.
