Single Track Above Woods Cross

I planned to get up at 7 this morning for a nice cool run. Going to bed late last night was a bit at odds with that and Ella, my two year old, got up way too early and needed some snuggles.

So I got a late start, but it turned out just fine. A few times I have headed up into the hills directly east of 2600 South in Woods Cross. It is about a 14 mile run if I turn around at the beginning of the single track, so I have never ventured up past that.

Today I drove to the beginning of the singletrack so that I could really check it out. It was gorgeous and well shaded from the sun, which was high at this point. I snapped a few pics, but it was hard to do it justice.

I realized today just how rocky these Rocky Mountains can be. I wore my Vibram Five Fingers today and the terrain just about did my feet in. Next time I visit this trail I'll be sporting some "normal" running shoes.
