Trip Report- short and sweet: We ran from
Green Mountain Park in Lakewood, CO to
Mt. Morrison. It was a point to point, since our friend Jon parked his Mini Van, sorry, car, at the end. The run took us through the famous Red Rocks park:
 |
| Red Rocks Amphitheater- from above |
From there, we did a bit of Fell running to get to the top of Morrison. (Fell running is anytime you aren't on a 'real' trail- we were just trying to find a way to the top).
 |
| This was the 'trail'. My legs are completely covered in scratches |
The top of Mt. Morrison is at 7,888 feet! We were up HIGH!
 |
| That's Red Rocks amphitheater from the other picture! Look how small it is now! |
 |
| We could probably see Nebraska from up here! |
Honey Bear, Cody's twin got to run with us on this adventure. (Cody needed a rest day)
 |
| Hi, I'm Honey Bear. I like to chase deer! |
Getting down from Mt. Morrison was almost as hard as getting up:
 |
| Just a touch technical! |
 |
| Whee!! Descending!!! |
Here is the awesome
video we made of our running adventure, all shot with the
GoPro Hero 3 black:
And, in case you were wondering, it requires a lot of concentration to film and run at the same time. Evidence here ;-)
