I still need to check-off a bear, mountain lion, rattlesnake, and lynx from my list of wildlife encounters on the trail, although I'm in no rush to see those creatures.<br /><br />Good luck backpacking up there Chris! It seems the 11K foot mark was where I had the most trouble, but at this point it really depends on what direction the trails are facing. <br /><br />PG - let's do it! I'll be up at Silver Rush. I signed up last week since I wanted a guaranteed final long run up high. Looking forward to running with you up there.Woodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11677463549607656479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955599134695240379.post-80915904983164408352011-07-08T09:10:17.469-06:002011-07-08T09:10:17.469-06:00MOOSE!

That's really cool, because they're not nearly as common around here. I was totally psyched to see a mother/calf last summer in the Indian Peaks. Made my day for sure. They were HUGE.<br /><br />Again, really glad you're posting about these trails. That singletrack on top is awwwwesome. And the views!mtnrunner2https://www.blogger.com/profile/10974435572236740294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955599134695240379.post-81293434128821102772011-07-07T21:52:32.388-06:002011-07-07T21:52:32.388-06:00Very cool run, that's a lot of elk!

Still a TON up there it looks like.ChrisBhttp://thescenebegins.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
