I ran the Wasatch Crest Trail this morning with Jun and Twinkies. We had a really good run. The weather was just about perfect, and the views did not disappoint. I was a little worried about the amount of gas I had in my tank, but I decided to push it anyway and by time we reached the trailhead my indicator said I had zero miles remaining before I ran out of gas. Ha.
Jun and I didn't use headlamps and after about 15 minutes they weren't needed. Twinkies was nice enough to let us use his light for the fist few minutes. We took a detour to climb Scott Hill and that was a lot of fun. It was a small bushwhack, but a great view from on top. After about 15 summit jumps we headed back down to the trail.
The trail is still so green and lush right now and the entire morning was just enjoyable. At Desolation Lake Twinkies and Jun opened it up a bit and I didn't see them again until the end. My legs felt so good today, probably the best they have ever felt on this trail. I really cruised the last mile. It was fun.
I coasted most of the way down the canyon and made it to 7-11 for some gas. It added a bit of amusement to the day. |
