Run hike hike hike hike run a little hike hike run down at Round Mountain

Last week Julie gave me a pass to come home late so I could get a long mid-week training run in. I heard from my buddy Mike that Round Mountain up Big Thompson Canyon was a great one.

It rained for the 20 minute drive up to the trail head but when I parked it stopped. This run has a TON of lose rock on it and the rain didn’t help make it any more stable. The run offers everything, step climbs, beautiful scenery, amazing summer flowers, lot’s of trees and an overall a good time. If you look at the GPS profile, it goes straight up, and then straight back down making for a lot of hiking on the way up. The summit is a little disappointing but the rest of the run makes up for it.

If you live in Northern Colorado, I’d highly recommend checking out this run/hike.
