A little graphic to show my neighborhood. I can see the peak that I climbed today from my yard so it was cool to see my neighborhood in full. This shows how hilly and rugged my back yard is. The black line is a single track/ jeep road that I run very often up to 9200ft. Starr Peak has a ranger station at the top with a powerline route that is very runnable. The arrow is where it starts. And then all that area below Starr Peak is wilderness that is riddled with jeep roads and nice single track trails. Rollinsville is just over the other side of Starr Peak.
Looking down my canyon to Denver.
These are looking towards Pikes Peak.
Awesome log.

That log is probably many, many years old. Cool pictures.
That's a brutal climb! I don't think I could walk that! What is the elevation at the top of Starr Peak?
Thanks Kevin. It is quite exposed up there too. That in combination with age has twisted the log quite nicely.
Brad- 10,500ft at the top. Isn't the incline MUCH steeper?
Yes I guess it is. It gains 2,000+ ft in a mile. However it has nice steps for your feet. Its a great workout! I love it when I'm done!
if i ever leave southern california i am recruiting you to help me build a log cabin in you neck of the woods!
I'll save you an acre or two.
