Saturday Long Run
5 / 18 / 2013

Start at the dirt parking lot above Helen Hunt Falls in North Cheyenne Canon at 5:30 a.m. It’s the parking lot we ran through on the Thursday morning hill climb. Start running at parking lot and head up High Drive to top. Once at top of High Drive head west on Trail 667 for a good 4 miles or so to Trail 701 which heads south. Follow Trail 701 to jeep road just outside Frosty Park—Road 379. Up Road 379 jeep road then up trail which takes you high up to jeep road-Road 379A that heads to Mt. Almagre/ Mt Baldy. Once at base of Almagre and Baldy where Stratton Reservoir is depending on snow head up summit of Mt Baldy then Almagre. It’s a gentle climb up to Almagre and Baldy from the Reservoir but being at 12,000 ft you feel the climb. It’s around 3 ½ hours up to Almagre and Baldy but coming back to the cars it’s a lot quicker like 2 1/2 hours. We come directly down a trail to Trail 701 then hit Trail 720 then Trail 668 then Seven Bridges. It’s a could quad buster coming down. The only water available is from the streams which I use iodine tablets and works well.

Driving Directions to start of run. From Starsmore Discovery Center at 2120 S. Cheyenne Canyon Road drive up North Cheyenne Canyon Road for 3 miles
