Report

I did this route last year, and needed a 20 mile training run today, so thought I would give it another go. While I didn't have the unusual morning wet fog conditions of last year, there was a triple digit AQI, ugh. Otherwise a great day. Beautiful route, only saw one other group the whole morning until I got to the last couple of miles. Brought 2 L of fluids and carried all of my nutrition on me. Seemed like there were a lot more downed trees than last year. Felt like an OCR course at times haha. Slow going for some sections, but made up a lot of time on the final descent back to the car at the ptarmigan trailhead.
