Riding down the old road just west of I-15

I ride just a mile or so to get a taste of what the area looks like in case I decide to venture into the area beyond one day. This is my "day off" and I'm not intending to do serious distance or climbing today.

It is a very scenic area, but significantly marred by the presence of the freeway passing through. To seriously enjoy this area, I would need to continue on much further, which I'm not prepared to do today.
