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.

Hit Rattlesnake again with Mandi. This time couldn't keep up until reaching 8,500 feet where I think altitude conditioning gave me an edge. We had to turn around though just below the ridge due to approaching thunderstorms.

Did the local loop before heading down to Salt Lake for the 4th festivities at Murphys.
