Laurel's Big Run

While Dan was off running around Boulder, I drove a bit north of town and completed a 20-21 mile route up at Heil Ranch. I started at 7:30 and ran the Lichen Loop to the Wapiti Trail. From there, I veered left to the Ponderosa Loop, but continued on to the Wild Turkey Loop to pick up Picture Rock. To this point I probably ran about 6 miles and gained about 1,000 feet. Then I headed down Picture Rock to Lyons. At the trailhead I took a little break, and turned right around. This entire spur was 11 miles. Then I completed the Wild Turkey Loop and headed down Wapiti. I got back to the car at 12:30, making this a five hour run.
