A soul-cleansing run from the main parking lot at Temple Fork up to the saw mill and back. Paul tells me it is about 7.5 miles, though it felt longer to my sea-level lungs. Save for being a bit dehydrated, and a couple small muddy/snowy patches far up the trail, conditions were absolutely perfect. Luckily, I had no watch, so all attention was paid to my surroundings, where it should be. What a fabulous canyon. It imparts peace and contentment and everything else that is good in the world. |
