Foothills run from the zoo to City Creek and back. With Scott, Jun and Dorsimus (for Mt Wire/Red Butte).
We started at Hoggle Zoo, going straight up to Mt. Wire. Then, down to Red Butte. The up to Van Cott, then Down to Shoreline Trail, then up to Avenues Twin Peaks, then down to City Creek. We turned around and ran the Bonneville Shoreline trail back to the zoo. Felt good to City Creek, then got achy breaky and ran out of water in the heat of the afternoon. Nevertheless it was a fantastic adventure run in the foothills above a major city. All that climbing added up to nearly 7,500 feet.
