In the Dirt

Where I've been spending a lot of my time lately.

Temescal Ridge Trail, looking south

Rogers Fire Road a few miles north of Inspiration Point at Will Rogers State Park

Rogers Fire Road, heading north

Somewhere along the Backbone Trail north of Temescal Canyon

More Backbone Trail. The route was a mix of fire road, single track, top of the mountain/bottom of the valley, shady, exposed and grassy areas, and some technical descents - all in one run.

Will Rogers State Park, about a mile and a half from the trailhead

Somewhere near Mnt. Hollywood Drive in Griffith Park

Trail in the northwest corner of Griffith Park

The Loop Trail in La Jolla Canyon. I actually haven't been here in a while, but it's one of my favorites. Due for another trip there soon

Pacific Crest Trail at Bouquet Canyon Rd in Leona Valley. My first time into the Angeles National Forest. Didn't get to run this one but watched people do it. Looks amazing. Will revisit at a later date.

Looking back on a 650ft climb over a mile or so on the Canyon View Trail at Zuma Canyon. Steals your breath way on the way up for sure.

After the climb up, you wind around. Still the Canyon View trail.

Part of the Zuma Loop Trail, on the opposite side of the Canyon. I spent much of last year biking and running at Zuma Beach, not more than a few miles away. Had no idea there was the same name trailhead so close by.
