(FYI - This is a submission for a faster time that should replace my previous unsupported FKT. ) I like to run this route at least once a year in the winter when it is closed to cars. My previous time on this route was over 2 hours and this time I was able to run it over 10 minutes faster this time. The weather and conditions were excellent with temperatures around 40 degrees F and clear skies. I saw a few cyclists out but no bears this time, although I have seen them frequently on this route in the past. I carried a single bottle with liquid calories and ran by myself.
