Been wanting to give this route a shot. shout to John Knotts who helped figure out this route a few years ago. I started at 7:11 from Chimney Gulch and finished at Blue Sky Summit for total time of 9:30:54. The Fall weather was nice and cool all day. I refilled at a gas station in Evergreen, and a couple streams along the way. The last few miles are a good punch, with 4-5k of the climbing coming in the last 3-4 miles. A great and challenging point to point run.
