finally, one good off road night run!  woot

my neighbors and I decided to checkout the hills east of traverse mountain, in the highland/alpine area.  we parked at the the base of the hills and headed out.  i've wanted to check out this area for a long time...

we gained 920ft of elevation in the first 1.6mi.  ouch, that's a bit much for me, but it was fun. after that nothing but great views of utah county and the slc valley, overall it was a really pretty area.  my headlamp works great, hopefully more night runs very soon.

we made it fairly close to Jun & Scott's "Ann's loop".  Our route is in blue, Ann's loop in red. 

 

my neighbors. tim wore a reflective safety vest... not sure what that helps with in the mountains but umm, "safety first" tim! good job buddy.  

 

 

wow, draper city actually *cares* about the trails?  that's cool! i picked up a trail map for my next run in the area.

1600ft vert

Awesome run! Jun and I will be doing Ann't to View Benchmark tonight if you're in the 'area'. I'll make sure he wears his reflective vest. Haha.

Reflective speedo is more like it. Nice job guys. I've run basically that same route you ran last summer. I just didn't do that little Jacob's Ladder leg you threw in. That's an awesome area.

thanks for the invite Scott. i'm sort of (really) a slow poke. i'll try and pick up some speed and i'll try running with you guys after the UVM.

Jun, do you know Tony Dodds? he's a good friend of mine, i think you guys are friends on facebook.

Ha, yeah. Tony and I go way back to Jr High. We never kept in touch but I sure enjoy reading about his skiing and other stuff here on facebook. He's a good cat.
