VERY windy day, it was blowing my glasses off at the top of Hayden and I had to physically hold on to them. Must have been 40 mph sustained winds, didn't spend much time at the top and it was pretty cloudy anyway. It's a very nice area with a lot of neat ecology and geology. There were still enough large snow drifts on the jeep track to keep the four wheelers from buzzing around on my route too much. Not the greatest day to be out doing that anyway. First self-direct half-marathon! Lots of walking but ran a significant portion of it.
