The Farmington Canyon Death Trip


Tate is always talking about the weather towers at the top of the mountain range.  So, about a month ago, we took an impromptu Sunday drive up there.




Little did my kids know that Farmington canyon is not for the weak of heart (and my kids fit that description) because of the non-guardrailed, 45 degree edges.  Favorite things said on the drive up;

  • "Slow down dad" (repeated 17 times)
  • "I think I am going to faint" (this was our favorite). 
  • "Dad, keep both your hands on the wheel"
Miraculously, we survived the drive (and the kids actually enjoyed the vista).

I made that trip with my parents many years ago. LOL "Dad, keep both your hands on the wheel" was repeated many times that day. Sad to say we never made it to the top the road was blocked with snow. Cool that you guys made it what an adventure.
