Pretty intense mountain run today. One of the most consistent high altitude runs in Utah is the Skyline Trail. With an immediate climb from 6,000 to 9,000, you can run 11 miles above 8,700 feet between Ogden Canyon and Sardine. With an out and back that's 22 miles. Ran this with Walter today with a trailhead temp of 101F.

At Ben Lomond Peak, 9,700 feet, I dropped off the West wall to see if I could get a mountain goat pic. Right into a herd of 20-30. Some scattered and some stood there and looked at me. Such beautiful animals.

Ran out of water just as we started down, a 70 ounce camelback.

I think you have more adventures than anyone on FRB, at least since Crockett left. Awesome.
