FKT: Courtney Clifton - Bears Ears Trail #1144 - 2024-06-22

I ran the Bears Ears route unsupported clockwise from about halfway between the north and south trailhead (I camped on a forest road in between them the night before). The south section is more rugged and difficult. I knew it was going to be difficult but I definitely bonked pretty hard after all the bushwhacking and had trouble running at all towards the end. There’s a lot of room for improvement on this one and the views do not disappoint! Plentiful water on route and just a few snow patches by Mt Oliphant that are melting quick.
