WE like this loop and run it every now and then. Its great anytime of year and you get three summits in less than 6 miles. Trails are well maintained and fun to hike. There are a lot of slabs and they were greasy as Heck today, but I somehow stayed on my feet all day. For some reason, I've hit the deck a few times this summer, lol. Back on the 52wav this weekend to get close to finishing round 2, 3 peaks to go. Taking Shay to Colorado to test him at altitude, than we start round 3 of the 52wav. |
