Stewart Falls to Sundance, 9

3:55 AM seemed way too early to be getting out of bed, but this amazingly beautiful run was worth it!  Craig Merrill joined Brian and me this time.  Dennis had to miss due to a dentist appointment.  

This spectacular trail starts at the Stewart Falls Trailhead and finishes at the Sundance parking lot, thus a shuttle is necessary.  



 Cross the stream below Stewart Falls, and head downstream about 30 yards to the main trail the will take you to the upper portion of Sundance Ski Resort. (Note: there are some side trails directly across the stream that go nowhere.  Be sure to head downstream until you find the main trail.)













 No excuses!  We ran to the very top!





 On the way down, we followed the signs to "Maverick".  Look for the narrow trail that takes you around the south mountain to a spectacular view of Provo Canyon before circling back to the base of the ski resort.*



 Switchback Alley is a fun little section toward the bottom.*


*The last part of this trail is intended for mountain bikers only so do this one before the ski lifts start up.  At 5:30 AM we didn't see a single soul.

Hidden Oak Trail - Above Spanish Fork Reservoir

Image
On a 93 degree day, this trail was the perfect choice.  The Hidden Oak Trail (also known as Snell Canyon) starts at the end of the road just east of Spanish Oaks Reservoir. Most of the trail is through thick oak and pine trees, so it is very shaded.  Bring your bug spray as there were a lot of flies and gnats, particularly the first half mile. It's only 1.25 miles to the overlook , but it feels further because of the climb.  From that point the trail gradually starts to disappear in the tall grass and shrubs, though many people will bushwhack much further up Snell Canyon. Highlight: playing with a spotted fawn who kept running up the trail and then waiting for me to catch up.  The trail is a gradual climb until just over one mile, at which point there are two steep switch backs leading to an amazing view of the Spanish Fork City and River Bottoms.   Other fun trails in this area include: Look Out Point, Escalante Cross, and Red Knoll

Look Out Point - Above Spanish Oaks Reservoir

Image
As you can see on the map below, there is a whole network of trails in this area.  I had fun exploring the trails, and ultimately making it to Outlook Point - overlooking all of Spanish Fork.  This is a fun place to run or hike.  You can pick your distance and destination.   Interestingly, this was a third option.  Originally, I met Brian at Maple Canyon at 5:00 AM.  We had planned to run from Kirkman Hollow to Maple Canyon, but a rain storm convinced us to try another trail.  After driving for a few minutes toward Provo Canyon, where the skies looked clear, I realized I had forgotten my work clothes.  So I flipped around and did this short run closer to home instead.

Tower Mountain (Water Canyon to Dixon Peak)

Image
This was a killer climb, and very rocky. 966 ft. in the first mile alone.  4,082 ft. overall elevation gain. The front of the mountain looks a little dry, especially during the current drought.  But by mile four, we were running through luscious green trees, and bushes with red berries and yellow flowers.  I was joined by Matt Seeley and Garritt Page. Garritt is the brother of Lalena Page, a former college teammate of mine. Matt and Garritt were mountain goats on the uphill. Pics below are out of order, but you can see exactly where they were taken on Strava . Coordinates to the trailhead: 40.039171596858544, -111.63391146714346
