Dayummmmmmmm

 

Agreed

 

It's Utah route 92 or the timpanogos highway. Takes you past timpanogos cave and Sundance. You end up in Provo canyon. When the weather's hot it's a nice cool ride with great views.

As far as what caused the rock to fall, a lot of the canyons have loose rock that falls naturally. There's also a lot of rock climbers lower in the canyon; they could have knocked one loose.

Nicole 's a pretty tuff cookie. Looks like the rock hit on the right side of her helmet so it may have glanced off the side a little. I'm glad it hit her in the helmet instead of her shoulder or back.

 

glad you both ok

 

wow, so glad she had her helmet on. I got hit by a big bug tonight on my forehead, and that really stung. can't imagine what a falling rock would feel like!

 

One of the reasons why the wife and ride our state exclusively because no lid law.

 

I lived in Colorado and there were a lot of falling rock areas on roads. Generally you look for the rocks on the road not in the air. She is lucky. I am wearing my FF more often these days and always at least a really good 3/4. I have a lot of novelty and skidlids in the basement this year.

 

That is what our safety officer would call a "close call". Something happened but no injury or damage.
I'm not ashamed to tell you all that after wearing hardhats for many years on jobsites and helmets on the roads and trails, I am scared to go out without one. The mental picture of a pumpkin or melon hitting the pavement @ 60 MPH is convincing enough for me.
