Ken and I met up on Saturday to run the Slick Rock trail backwards. Just as much fun in that direction as well. Those pics of that run are at

We also connected with the Deer Creek trail which runs from Hwy 4 near Ebbets Pass to Hwy 88. We were curious about what the book called the rock garden at the start of the trail. Well, it wasn't a rock garden like we've seen but it was one rocky danged trail. We turned back down after a mile due to the lateness in the day, low fuel, and a bent tie rod.
This is a good KJ trail but definitely requiring it to be lifted and armored with lockers helpful in one spot. This spot (right at the trail head):
Most of this stretch looked like this. Careful line picking in a KJ but doable.
