Day 2 Creel - Adventures of a lifetime

Goal today was to run, do the minimum school work that should have been done before I left and then find a tour for tomorrow.  2 out of 3 accomplished.  Only did 8km today but it was tough.  My body will acclimate to the altitude by the time I leave.  Found single track trails above the town, but there is a labyrinth of these trails and following a particular trail is difficult.  The running was much nicer today since I was all alone - yesterday I was running on an unpaved road.  The smells of the pine forests is unbelievable - wish I could bottle it to bring home.

Update: I did find a tour for Wednesday - just me and a guide, 7 hour hike (pricey, but an adventure of a lifetime).  It is down near Divisidero where the canyons are much more amazing than here.  Pretty sure I'll be back in June before I head home.

The trail was worn into the rock - wierd

Not enough of these arrows - and they are only if you are going in this direction.  If you are going in the other direction - good luck











Exactly where is the trail?




You want me to go down there?  Maybe, but this is a mountain bike trail - are you kidding me?  I did this as an out and back so this is where I turned


Random signage meant to confuse and tantalize at the same time.
