On this week’s episode, host Heather Anderson is joined by 2 time Para Olympian triathlete Kyle Coon. He shares his journey from going blind as a child who hated running to becoming a competitive athlete and why trail running piqued his interest after retiring from triathlon.
Famous Belchensteig Hiking Trail through the southern Black Forest
The Ogden Full Link-Up is a point to point trail run with some fun scrambling. The route starts in Mantua and follows the Ogden skyline all the way to South Ogden. Along this route you will summit a number of prominent peaks in the area. These include: Willard Peak, Ben Lomond Peak, Chilly Peak, Eyrie Peak, Lewis Peak, Sardine Peak, No Name Peak, Allen Peak, Mount Ogden, The Needles, De Moist Peak, and Strawberry Peak.
The Central Wasatch Mountains have roughly 9 5th-class scrambles that are at varying levels of classic status: the south ridge of Superior, the north ridge of Pfeifferhorn, Thunderbolt Ridge, Standard Ridge, Mineral Slab, Millstone Slab, West Slabs, Kamp’s Ridge, and Geurt’s Ridge. Three are in Little Cottonwood, three are in Big Cottonwood, and three are on Mt. Olympus.
The La Sal Mountain range is one of the many notable geological features in the state of Utah. Spanning 10 miles across the region of south-eastern Utah, the typically snow-capped peaks are wreathed by lush forests and trickling streams which feel like an oasis juxtaposed with the sunburnt towers, arches, and mesas of the surrounding desert. The tallest peak within this range is Mt.Peale, jutting to 12,726 ft. (3,879 m) in elevation at its summit.
