Fort Valley stuff out to Rocky Moto, then GT Trail and various routes up the Veit Springs. Up some steep stuff to Kachina, Snow Bowl and then back on AZT. Really cool route and gorgeous day, though hot. Got pretty dried out towards the end.

Was going to start from higher elev. but last minute figured we could shave some time off by going to this TH instead & explore some new areas. Most of the area is not mapped on this site. I posted an updated map pic.

My friend found the initial sections less than stellar. When we reached bout 8k elev. We saw clear improvements in terrain, greenery, etc. So this did encourage me to return to secret trai.

Some trails here have been decommissioned & others added. My map was a bit off so we had to improvise some. Still got the numbers I was going for. 😎 On a mission this month.

I have always wanted to circumnavigate the San Francisco Peaks and I finally got the chance with this event.

Long day out there with plenty of highs and lows to really make the most of it. It was a small, well run event and I had the experience I was hoping for. Beautiful weather and blazing aspen all over the place were the icing on the cake.

Michelle and Sierra surprised me and met me at the 20 mile aid station before the big climb up to the inner basin and that was probably the highlight of the day. The last 3.5 miles were in the dark.

What a day! :y:
