Total Distance

14.75

Grandeur Loop +

I parked at the shopping center and ran to the West ridge trail head. Then, up. Even with the extra 1.5 miles and a poo break just above the parking area, I reached summit in 1:35. Ran down Church Fork, slippery until the switchbacks. Warm. At the Pipeline junction I ran up trail to the parking area for the winter rec, then 4 miles back to Rattlesnake and down canyon. I am not so trusting this Garmin vert calculation. With elevation corrections enabled the total for today is 4612 ft; disabled it is 4,000 ft. What the crap? I did run up canyon a few hundred feet, including short ups and downs but I don't think after the peak I did an additional 1400. I am calling it 4000.

Killer day man. I think the vert would be very close to 4K.

Solid run. Garmin really seems to struggle in that canyon especially - I think its a little over-generous on the pipeline trail (my theory is it doesn't quite know where you are on the slop of the hill, so it keeps you moving up and down, when you're really more or less running flat). Your corrections disabled should be close.
