Trails!

Green Canyon 10 - 

Stopped at green canyon on my way home from scout camp (swapped out leaders today).  It was snowing at scout camp (Camp Aspen Ridge) so I didn't want to run up there like I had planned.  I drove home and stopped at the first canyon where it wasn't raining.  I had enough of the rain this week as it was raining buckets off and on up at camp.  

We had fun though and even got in a 1K vert hike in towards Doubletop (as its called).  We made it to the saddle and a few boys barely made it back without tears.  It was about 2 miles round trip.  

I got sick monday after a swim check in the freezing lake and having to hike the half mile back to camp while shivering to death.  My sinuses were messed up for two days after that.  So no running Mon/Tues.

Took my family camping up High Creek and while they went for a hike I went for a hike/run up towards Doubletop (different one than yesterday).  I ran out of time before getting there and also managed to make a few wrong turns.  The trail is super overgrown and tough to navigate.  But very scenic!  Had fun and still had plenty of quality time with the family in the mountains.  They loved the spot we picked.

Mike joined me today for a run/hike up to Cherry Peak (9765').  One of my favorite runs!  Lots of different terrain.  Especially today with still lingering snow up there. We got to do a lot of glissading on the way down.  It was awesome!  Very tired now.  Nice back to back runs.

Trail work day at Snowbasin for the Wasatch 100. We spent all day (8 hours) working on a 50 yard section of trail. It went from very rocky and technical to driveable with a 4-wheeler. That is what they wanted. It was hard work and dang hot working in the sun all day. I am very sunburned on my neck. Oops.

Following our 2.25 mile hike back out Mike and I went for a run on the loop that we were working on. It is a sweet buffed out trail. That was really the only technical section of the whole trail. Fun to run, but I was too tired to really enjoy it. Completely wasted now.
