I am going to go put down an effort on this tomorrow morning!

I suppose you would be hard pressed to find a more notably scenic trail run in the world, even if part of it is bike pathway. Just wish I was still in road runner shape. 

 

I am going to go beyond eating a slice of humble pie, and eat the whole pie. I was thinking that to be classic in Yosemite you had to be climbing something major! Boy, was I wrong! This was one of the most magical trail runs of my entire life. Every way you look you are beneath world-class waterfalls, world-class granite monoliths, and amazing mixture of technical and non-technical fast trail... there is such a mixture of lost in nature and route finding to not get off route. I loved it. Humble pie eaten.
