Comments
Comments: Great to get off the beaten path without feeling like the path is beating you up. CN and Deso were way more fun than Signal IMO- didn't see anyone out there either! Desolation was a blast, not sure I'd like it in wet conditions but great for this drought. Water bars were looking sharp over there too. Loved this 18 miler trail run!
