Ran to the summit of Pfeifferhorn after work. Although I love the trail, the lakes, the mountain-- I felt lonely up there and wanted to get home.

The Red Pine trail is one of the most rocky, technical trails I know. But it is awesome cuz it keeps the bikers away.

Is the trail pretty dry? I was thinking of going up there on Sunday.

Not completely dry- there is meltwater running down the trail before the lake and up from the lake you will have to cross several humps of snow. I came back with wet shoes. If you go early morning, however you can probably stay on top of the snow and stay dry.

Good info - thanks!

Seriously, that's the longest and best description of your run? Ha. Lame! Nice job Matt. 3:03 is quick considering the current conditions. Those rocks are super slick when wet. What was your time to the top this time? Did you fly up like last time? We missed you this morning.

Time to the top was 1:35, 5 minutes slower than last year. I wanted to run all the inclines but I just couldn't so I was a little demoralized because I KNOW I can run up those inclines, but for some reason last night I couldn't.

You wanted to run the headwall and the actual Pfeif? If you can do that you're super human. I just want to keep a steady pace on that stuff.

From MatthewVH on Tue, Jun 19, 2012 at 11:03:06 from 69.27.9.106

No I'm talking about the trail heading up to the lake. Had to walk some.

From jun on Tue, Jun 19, 2012 at 11:07:33 from 205.158.160.209

Ah, yeah, that's always the same goal I have. I think we should try when the snow drifts are gone. Maybe in a week or so.

Sick run my friend. I'm assuming your knee's holding up ok these days?

From MatthewVH on Tue, Jun 19, 2012 at 15:25:04 from 69.27.9.106

My knee feels great. Gonna keep giving it proper attention. Thanks for all the advice.

One of my favorites. I heard you ran into a new friend at Red Pine lake. Nice jorb there fella.

Sweet run! I had a dream about this trail the other night, but there was this huge glacier above the lake. I am thinking about spending a night up there this weekend... I think it is a good sign that I am now dreaming in trails :)

From Jake K on Thu, Jun 21, 2012 at 13:31:45 from 155.100.226.54

There used to be a huge glacier above the lake... although that was a bit before our time :-)

From MatthewVH on Thu, Jun 21, 2012 at 13:38:01 from 69.27.9.106

In a few weeks' time the little streams up under the headwall will be filled with clean clear magic mountain water.

Camping at the lake would be very nice this weekend.
