Total Distance

11.10

From Alta to Sunset Peak, down to Lake Mary and up and over Twin Lakes Pass with CraigL

This was one of the best runs of the year so far. I met Craig at the LCC park n ride at 5:15 am and we were up at Alta running 20 minutes later. We ran the road up to the Catherine Pass trail and as we climbed to the pass it started to get light. The meadows were stunning and we saw 6 buck deer. One large buck never moved and just stared at us. We hit the pass and then cruised over to Sunset Peak, which has one of the best views in the Wasatch. We ran down to Lake Catherine and then over to Lake Mary where we picked up the Twin Lakes Pass trail.

The views on this run were out of this world cool and the best part is we had the place to ourselves which has never happened for me up there. We went up to the pass and then ran the rocky mining road down to the nice single track that took us back to the finish at Alta. Wow. Just wow. That run was awesome.

sounds like one of those perfect runs that soothes the soul before a big race. you're getting strong for Wasatch.

I've been meaning to get up to Sunset Peak and haven't yet. I guess I'll have to wait and hit it at sunrise pacing Wasatch again. :) no complaints there.
