Snowbird to American Fork Twin Peaks and Baldy via Gad Valley I started at the Creekside platform at Snowbird - where Speedgoat 50K starts - and jogged uphill to American Fork Twin Peaks. One word to describe: Steep. Up Gad Valley to just below Hidden Peak, where the narrow ridge to the Twins begins. I topped at the west Twin in 1:59, then ran over to the Bastard and back to the East Twin, then down to Hidden Peak (they keep the restroom open all night FYI) and then up to Baldy. Descent via Alta ski runs and that was no damned fun. Dead ends, submerged feet in icy puddles - but I eventually found my way back to my vehicle at Entrance 1. Got a look at most of the Speedgoat course. Sadistic.
I got 10,500 feet of vertical smile in 4 days. Garmin sez take a look:
