Secret Loop, trail report 10.19.08
90 minute loop with 40 minute bushwacking section, in the fall this section of trail seemed a lot easier than mid summer with high brush and chacos on. This time I wore pants for the brush, run shoes, took a beanie but we (Foothill Freak) did not need the extra jackets and hats. The temps were warm and the light was amazing, the trail is a subtle teaser since on the way into the hills the view is nice but ok, then on the way back to the car the views become spectacular. You get to look at the whole Wasatch mountain range in pink alpine glow light usually between 4:30-7:00 pm, the western light just bounces and with the leaves changing the colors spiked.
We did slight burr removal off the four legged boohs, and they ran the whole way with big dog grins. So life is good. Time is still ticking down very slow. Maybe its a residual from the San Juan River trip. I am not going to fight it, even my Timex watch is not working. I am supposed to be in the Present whether I like it or not.
