Ran this route north to south, choosing to start up the ridge east of Ensign Peak, rather than the drainage trail up to the City Creek ridgeline. This felt like the right move, aesthetically matching how it closes it out on the Perkins ridgeline along Parleys canyon. I had support at Little Mountain summit where Matt Irving was parked with food and water. I dropped my vest with him and finished off the last seven miles. We've had an unseasonably, almost eerily hot November so it felt like a great time to spend the day out and take advantage of the warmth. This goes way (way) faster whether supported, self-supported or unsupported. The only real issue is water but I do think at certain times of the year there is flow at 40.85048, -111.71821 about half way along the route on the GWT. This route really feels like a distinctive way to honor the foothills of the Salt Lake Valley.
