To continue
yesterdays list of great vacation spots for a run. Most are out west and not necessarily a place to get a quality paced run, but the views certainly make up for it.
I'll let the pictures do most of the talking.
1)
Angels Landing at
Zion National Park
 |
| The view is worth the climb |
|
|
 |
| It's a tad technical near the top though |
|
2)
Bryce Canyon National Park
 |
| Legit switchbacks |
|
 |
| Painting or real? |
|
3)
Mount Timpanogos
"Hikers on the trails climb through montane forest, subalpine and alpine zones."
 |
| Star's at 7,000 feet above sea-level |
 |
| Emerald Lake at 10,000 feet above sea level. |
 |
| The altitude will kill you |
 |
| The very top would of been ~12,000 feet above sea-level. We didn't have the daylight to make it. |
 |
| Going down was harder than going up |
I also had 2 nights, 3 days at a 5-Star Hotel at Zermatt Switzerland, at the foot of the Matterhorn. The runs there were tough and scenic, but I have no pictures. I never saw the Matterhorn. It was in clouds the whole time. I was almost killed by an irate sheep herder, though. I have that going for me.
