| Good run at Deer Creek Canyon, helped by the cooler temperatures (and even some rain). Was 27 seconds faster than doing the same route this time last year. Route was Meadowlark-Plymouth Creek-Plymouth Mountain (clockwise) -Homestead-Plymouth Creek
Note - the map at the trailhead gave a different distance (6.9 miles) than my map at home - I'm more inclined to believe the one at the trailhead, mostly because the between the two intersections of the Plymouth Mountain and Plymouth Creek trails is never the 0.4 miles my map claims it is). Climb is a guess but is at least that much.
Took some splits:
Meadowlark (1.6 miles mostly uphill) - 19:17
Plymouth Creek (0.4 miles, steep uphill) - 9:13
Plymouth Mountain (1.7 miles, undulating) - 26:40
To Homestead Trail, 0:14
Homestead (1 mile, undulating), 10:16
To Plymouth Mountain upper junction (0.1 miles, downhill) - 1:53
To Plymouth Mountain lower junction (0.4 miles, downhill the map is clearly wrong here!) - 0:39
To Meadowlark junction (0.4 miles, steep downhill - same as split 2 above) 5:03
To parking lot (1.1 miles, mostly downhill) 11:34
WIldlife sightings - one black squirrel. Others say they saw a rattlesnake! |
