"A beautiful winter trail run with epic views as well. This was my 15th time up McAfee since moving to the region nearly four years ago. Legs felt really good on this 11 1/2 mile adventure that included McAfee, Catawba, and Sawtooth. Not a lot of people out. Sunny, but pretty cold. " — runshigleyrun • Mar 2, 2025

"Ran and hiked up mountains 98-100 for the 2024 calendar year. Beautiful views and perfectly cold weather. No other people out and about. Had to go off-trail for two of the peaks." — runshigleyrun • Dec 14, 2024

"Ran/hiked 11 miles, 4-5 peaks, and 3,100 feet of climbing with Luke. Spectacular day with phenomenal views. The climb up Thunder Ridge was over 1,300 feet over 2 miles. The fog covering the Arnold Valley was gorgeous. Views of Devil's Marbleyard from the top reminded us of the same experience from several weeks ago. The mountains on this particular day were some of the loftiest in the region. " — runshigleyrun • Nov 17, 2024

You know you are up in the air when you look down upon those two 4,000-foot mountains. " — runshigleyrun • Nov 17, 2024

"Hiked up the winding Salt Pond fire road on a glorious fall day with Jake. He is still getting his mountain legs after a long, brutal summer. Bagged two peaks in 3.2 miles in our backyard." — runshigleyrun • Oct 12, 2024
