Nose to the Grindstone Time

I made it out of the house in the late afternoon and headed over to Deer Canyon in Laguna Coast Wilderness. I have this love/hate relationship with Deer Canyon. My love is that it’s a lot of single track with some exceptional views. My hate is it’s a run that is down down down into a canyon. Which means up up up back to the car.

Did I say exceptional views?

Did I say up up up? Here’s the trail coming back up out of the canyon:

I made it out and back onto Red Tail Ridge just in time for this:

  2. Looks like a great place to run. I hope I make it to your side of the planet one day.
