Love running on Christmas. Headed for the hills this afternoon. Yesterdays storm dropped a good 10"+. Headed up from home to trails leading to the alter (front side of Timp). Perfect cool, sunny day.
Strapped on the Yak Tracks at the lower parking lot (only 2nd or 3rd time I've ever used them). Didn't mind the YT's and really never knew I had them on. Rough going cutting trail for the majority of the day in snow up to mid-calf (surprised to see only one other set of tracks at the meadow). Headed down GWT (#33) again cutting tracks until reaching the fire road. Fire road wasn't much fun at all. Two other sets of tracks had chopped up the snow and a soft (muddy) base made for difficult footing--and slow going. Missed Grandma's house (oops) but had so much fun out in the snow today. |
