Tower Mountain (Water Canyon to Dixon Peak)
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
