Skipped out on work early again today...the hills were calling (and needed to vote!).
Ended up running along the BST up Dry Canyon to the big meadow, then grabbed the trail heading back down to Small Baldy. Found a new trail at the Small Baldy saddle which headed down the west side of SB hooking back up to Dry Canyon. Cool to find new trail in an area that I know pretty well.
Surprisingly I was able to run the entire Dry Canyon trail up to the meadow. I didn't know that was even possible--granted "run" at times was no better than my power walk. Nonetheless, legs felt strong and held up for the wicked and relentless climb. I'll have to post elevation tomorrow, somewhere around 2,500 ft climb in 2.5 miles.
Elevation Gain: 3,166
FKT(Personal): Base of Dry Canyon to Meadow (trail split): 55 min / 2,528 ft elevation gain / 2.42 miles / 22.43 min mile. (Not that impressive on paper.)
2 stops (w/o stopping Garmin) 1st-Yield for two horses. 2nd-Yield for third horse and gave directions.
