Grandeur Peak loop this morning. This is a butt kicker for me...but perfect conditions. 2 miles up and 3000 feet is just a grind and seems never ending but overall felt as good as I ever have going up...eating beef jerky and almonds on the way. Saw no one on way up. Top 1/3 of mountain and whole backside is glorious fall colors. A terrestrial potpourri so to speak. Went over the peak and then the payoff of this loop is the next 3.5 miles. This trail is so cool right now going down to Pipeline. The colors are outstanding the temps perfect and the trail in great shape. Died a bit from Rattlesnake back to the car..but overall super outing...When you bros going to join me? |
