DBD, dude... Utah is where it's at. Alot of people don't realize it's not all desert! If you had some spare time out there you coulda taken a drive to Park City and rented a bike out there and had lift access riding (I used to be a mtb instructor there) It's a bit of a drive from Ogden though. There's so much cool riding out there it's amazing. On that side of the range (Snowbasin) it's awsome.. they get some of the pest POW in Utah! And yeah, it's sooo green there it's amazing!
Ah.. maybe someday I'll get back to Utah.
