The little dell reservoir was way up the Emigration Canyon road to the east of where I lived. I was not very athletic and a biking trip to the reservoir was normally very hard for me. With an electric-assist bike, this challenge became very doable. My bike was very much on the budget side with limited range, so I had to pedal whenever I could, saving battery for the hardest parts. The map. In the last section, I biked west instead of east at the fork. I left my bike and walked around the marked location (red cross). My tiny electric bike.

After that, the road was mostly going down-hill.  I biked down until I reached a point where (I thought) I was clos...
