April Fools Day - no fooling!



The path well worn or the path less traveled? Guess you know which one to choose! Follow the yellow ribbons here as this takes the runner around one of the best segments of the route - the Heaven's Gate loop. Andy and others have been busy adding those markers to assure the runners of the correct path. It is THE best marked wilderness course. The other photo is me racing around just before the third creek crossing. I love running here!
The trail is in great shape with just a little mud here and there. The creeks are running just a touch above normal, so plan on getting a cool refreshing break at those crossings. The guys have done a lot of trail work this year so the race should be fun.
The section through the Butterfield lake trib has been elevated and paved to avoid those nasty creek crossings in the mud. Ha Ha - April Fools!
