Extremely scenic 7+ mile loop north on old jeep roads and single-track trails around Three Mile Mountain then looping south 5 miles over the rolling foothills of the Rockies. Repeat to 25 mile point, then move to shorter 3 mile loop (each 1/4 mile loop marked) until time expires.
Red rock canyons, giant barrel cactus, rare tiny hedgehog cactus, jackrabbits and cottontails, abundant drinking water (from jugs/bottles) along course.
Elev. = 4,310' - 4,990' Normal weather - 29F low, 61F high
CRs = 39.8 mi., Doug Matney, 2004
28.0 mi., Karen Zoller, 2003
A fun end-of-year and pre-holiday run. Come join us for a "Magical Mystery Tour" of the high desert.
