Logan Peak (9710') - Providence Peak (9598') - Little Baldy (8763')

Final big workout before Speedgoat.  Figured I could run some hills and tag some peaks all at the same time.  Ended up bushwhacking for an hour.  What a mess.

Route was up dry canyon left onto connector to North Syncline until I hit the spring.  Dipped my shirt and hat and filled up.  Retraced my steps until I hit the connector trail that goes straight up to Logan Peak.  On Google Earth, the trail is clearly visible.  I guess it hasn't been used in a few years.  I was getting off trail every 50 feet.  After a while, I got frustrated and gave up only to stumble on the trail heading back down.  I gave it another go, but was soon bushwhacking again.  I decided to just head to the ridge and guess what I found, the trail.  For a bit.

Eventually I made it to Logan Peak tagged the tower and rushed over to Providence Peak.  Big dark clouds were looming and it was getting really late.  I figured I had 1 hour to get down in daylight.  I moved as quick as I could along the ridge to Little Baldy.  There was a trail for a while.  Then more bushwhacking ensued.  I almost cried for joy when I hit the South Syncline trail.  Now racing the sunset I headed back to dry canyon and down it back to the car.  Quite the link-up but I will probably not do that again until snowshoe season as the trail stinks.

3.5 hrs. Wow.

I ran straight up LP my first summer here. Gave up on a trail and followed the cable up. I remember tons of thigh-high pricklys that kept getting on the inside of my shorts. The people on atv's at the top looked at me like I was nuts. They're probably right.

Wish we had done more adventure runs before I left.
