Trails!

Providence Cayon Trail up to Welches Jeep Trail to Temple Baldy (8114') then up the ridge to Little Baldy (8763').  Got to do some slipping and sliding around on snow.  The descent off Little Baldy was more skiing than running.  Fun stuff!  I even saw my first moose of the year.

Mendon Peak (8766')

Ran today from Mendon to Mendon Peak.  It was quite an adventure including navigating remains of an avalanche and the half mile long debris field.  Goodbye trail.  I also got to wade through patches of snow near the saddle.  The benefit of that was some sweet glissading on the way down.  I had the place all to myself though.  Loved it.

Jardine Juniper no tree, extra loop at top - 11 miles

Had the full group out today.  Joe, Mike, Fan, and myself.  Joe was feeling pretty spy compared to me today and pulled me along until Mike just took off.  What a show-off!  Just kidding, he must have felt good today.  Overall, a pretty quick run on a sweet trail.

Young Ward Loop - 6 

Easy

Old Ephraim's Grave Loop - 12

This run marks the beginning of a taper for Scout Mountain 100K next weekend.  What a perfect pre-race run.  It was absolutely gorgeous out there today.  Loved it!
