Mt. Herman loop trail with Sharon

This is a quickie update, as a lot of what I did last week was stay at home and pick up some weights.

I almost forgot that I did do the Section 16 Palmer Red Rock loop on Wednesday. It was just a quick morning loop. I love the views from the loop. If you haven't done it, the views include the lower parts of Bear Creek Canyon and the north side of High Drive as it winds up towards the saddle between Mays Peak and Mount Buckhorn. And then there is the cute little bridge by a small waterfall.

The whole loop is just about 6 miles, a good distance for a midweek short jog.

And then on Sunday, I met up with Sharon for our first run together since the Ascent. We did Mt. Herman loop trail.

It was so cool and refreshing in the hills! The first part of the trail is somewhat filled with switchbacks and unknown split offs, but once we reached the top of Limbaugh Canyon we knew we were on the right trail.

Then the trail took us through beautiful autumn meadows with the aspens just barely starting to change colors!

There is so much natural beauty to find right here in our own area! How lucky we are.

I'm looking forward to even more autumn adventures as the leaves continue to change colors and I continue to challenge myself with new and different runs.
