It was raining when I parked at the [link slug="mint-spring-trailhead"/] - not hard, but enough to make me reorganize some of my gear into Aloksaks to keep everything dry - just enough effort to keep the rain away for the rest of the evening! Highlights:

[link slug="mint-spring-trail"/] - The first part of the trail was wonderfully overgrown - in spots the trail was almost a tunnel thru all of the summer growth - the fern covered hillsides with flowers peaking thru were memorable.

Wilderness of Rock Trail - Water! Not the highest/fastest I have seen the water here - but enough that to make it exciting to see - small waterfalls, spills and pools!

[link slug="aspen-trail"/] - On the last climb to the ridge, burned years ago and now quite open, the flowers were blooming and beautiful and I had great views of the moon.

[link slug="aspen-draw-trail"/] - Sections of soft trail thru the big trees, it wasn't long after starting the trail that I had to get out my headlamp to navigate the dark tree covered trail.

I finished with a run thru Summerhaven, by the time I arrived nothing was open (not unexpected on a Sunday night - but I was still hoping...), and the streets were nearly empty... 11.75 miles, 2600' of elevation gain/loss.
