Chantry Flats to West Fork Run
Eric and Ken completed their exploratory run to see if Chantry Flats to West Fork would make a good Saturday long run or training run for marathons. This course is fantastic with water running and visible for most of the course. It is around 20-21 miles long. 7 miles up hill and 13 miles down hill.
We started the run at 6 am and it was cloudy with light fog. Ken's GPS watch was acting up so we could not map the course. This created a little anxiety, since we are sensitive to how many miles we run into the canyon in case we get lost and want to turn back.
The first 5 miles up the canyon was fairly easy. The uphills are mild with easy stretches and a wonderful stream with waterfalls all the way up. After 5 miles, we started our ascent up to Newcombs Pass at around mile 6. This mile is more difficult and reminded of Garcia in some spots.
When we reached Newcombs, the cloud cover was below us like a thick white blanket with deep blue skys overhead. The most beautiful picture of the year and I didn't bring my camera.
At mile 7 we got lost for about 10 minutes. The trail down to Cogswell has the marker 2N25. The down hill is fast and long down to Cogswell.
Special thanks to Fe and Porchdog for meeting us at Cogswell and giving us rides back from West Fork.
