Naomi Peak (9979')
Highest peak in Bear River range. Today it was attacked by a different approach. I have not run that far up Smithfield Canyon before so today was the day. Pretty cool trail. Lots of steep stuff and rocky stuff. Not terribly runnable. The bit from the 7 sisters ridge along the Naomi Ridge was pretty rough. Pretty slow sidehilling over to the peak. Great view of the smoke filled valley below. Got back in the dark. Brought my head torch though so I was fine. Good stuff!
