Absolutely gorgeous route ringing Mt. Yale with a good mix of moderate climbs, steep climbs, and fast, not-terribly technical downhills. Worst part of the route is the road between Denny Creek TH and Avalanche TH but it's only a couple of miles with a sufficient shoulder and helps make up a little time if you end up taking a lot of photos on Brown’s Pass like I did. Finished up right before it started storming. Oddly enough, this was my last long run before I ended up nursing an injury for a couple of weeks, but I would do this route again in a heartbeat, especially in preparation for a high altitude race.
