Spartan Salt Lake Super

June 27th 5 of our Rocky Mountain Rescue Dogs team members raced in the Spartan Super race. It was so much harder than I expected (but maybe I should've trained....) it was 9.1 miles in 100 degree heat hiking mountains and completing 26 obstacles. I almost gave up after mile 2.. but we dug down deep and FINISHED STRONG!

nice and clean

this is the starting line... just jump over this 4ft wall please.

muddy and tired finishers

Silver Flat Reservoir Camping

5:09 PM

First chance we got in June we took off for the mountains. We camped by Silver Flat Reservoir in American Fork Canyon. Go to American Fork Canyon, take the road to Tibble Fork, then the road to Silver Flat Reservoir. The road to Silver Flat Reservoir is a rough dirt road - we did see passenger cars driving up it but it is really rough and I personally wouldn't take a low clearance vehicle up it. Once at Silver Flat, from the parking lot we drove across the river to a another dirt road. We drove up it a mile or so and found a spot by the river to spend the night.
