Meridian Peak with ZacM and MattVH:

I met the boys at the Capitol at 5:30 am. It was warmer than I thought it would be, but like a dummy I kept my jacket on and I roasted for the first half of the run. It was even warm up on the ridge. On Wed we went east and hit the Twins, but today we went west up to the towers and then went down into the N. Salt lake side and then picked up a trail to Meridian Peak. I had never been there before and it was a fun little climb with incredible views. We saw a pack of coyotes on our way up and that was pretty cool and then watched a pretty great sunrise on top.

From Meridian we went back over to the main ridge (with the towers) and then took a steep side trail down into City Creek where we picked up the nice single track back to the trailhead. It was a really fun morning.

Gosh, that sounds amazing! Quite a different side of running I have yet to explore more fully.

As long as you don't get stuck between a croc and a pack o' hyenas, you should be fine.
