Cog/ Pipeline/ down Barr at No Name

I realize that my titles of my blog posts are rather uninventive. Yesterday was Sunday and as per usual I had to go to the mountains! Sharon joined me for a classic "short loop." We took the Incline shuttle bus to skip on a little pavement and save our legs for the climb. Then we headed uphill on the Cog tracks.


It was a really warm day as it has been. The summer is approaching quickly. I was really glad to have started early this morning and I am looking forward to when the official Incline club runs are pushed back to 7am, since it is nice to get an early start considering how quick the temp rises in the mornings.


We cut off the Cog tracks at the Pipeline trail which is just up past the Manitou Halfway House.


We get to cross this fun bridge! After coming back to Barr Trail where it meets the Pipeline near No Name Creek, I booked it on the downhill since I had to get home. I ran past so many Incline club friends! So nice to see everyone out enjoying a beautiful day. And special thanks to Sharon for starting out with me, it was such a refreshing day. Great conversation renews the soul and getting a solid workout at the same time! I ended with about 9 miles loop since I ran the pavement back instead of waiting for the bus at the bottom. I recommend this loop to anyone looking for a little bit different route that is around 10 miles or less.
