 | Comments: |
Up via Maple Ridge and down via Laura Cowles. Lack of much for views and a cool wind convinced me to take Laura Cowles down rather than Sunset Ridge (which is my recommended route down on a nicer day). Trails were drier than expected and going down Laura Cowles turned out being a quicker and enjoyable route that I hadn't been on for quite some time. Seemed like a new trail and most likely a lot of new trail work since my last time. Quiet day. Dry trails made up for cold and lack of views. |
