Bells Canyon Reservoir became my treadmill today.  I started out on the Little Cottonwood side parking lot and ran the great switchback entry to the lake and then did a loop around figuring I would go down to the gully trails, but the day was so nice and no one was around and the views up Bells Canyon are always stunning...so I just kept looping the lake which is just under a mile loop.  I repeated 7-8 times and with some offshoots and headed back.  Beautiful day at a very slow pace.  Made me happy which was great because I started out pissed for some reason.

Nice trail run! It was so beautiful yesterday. It was my off day from running yesterday and after I dropped off my 4 yr old at preschool I was going to run down to the trailhead and head up Bells too. I probably would have passed you somewhere and never new it! ha! I ended up getting a call from our real estate agent on my way home that someone wanted to come through our house, so I ended up cleaning instead of enjoying the day! I'm glad you got out and it cheered you up. My day started out happy and it ended with me pissed! haha!

I sure love it up there. Looping that lake just seems like a genius idea. The trail is perfect and the scenery is ideal.
