This view back down the ridge I was ascending is one of my favorite photos in a while. Zoom in on it. I really like the near focal point with the yellow flowers, and the river rocks (which you really have to watch on downhills!) on the right:
The sun came out when I was coming down Box 'o Rox on the west side:
I hiked/ran back up one of the ridges on the way home...
...so I could run down this (same ridge as in the second photo):
Distance was 9.06 miles, time 2:07 (moving 1:46), elevation gain/loss 1,759 feet, avg. pace 14:06 (moving 11:45), and best pace 7:19.
The wildflowers are so pretty right now, I bet you love that!! :)
ReplyDeleteJill - You're not kidding. And the wildflowers are scattered like gems all over this mountain.
ReplyDeleteYou are right - that picture has a lot of depth to it. Still need to get up and hit those sweet trails on your home mountain one of these days!
ReplyDeleteFYI - you might like some of the photos on Matt's website (ideas for future mountain outings, as if you need that...):
