As a physics major a lot of my classes went there because the physics department is in love with that place (plus, with basically no distractions, they could pile on the work and keep us stuck inside computing multi-variable integrals by hand all day). <BR/><BR/>anyways, my girlfriend was up there with her class for a few days, so i just tagged along hoping to finally do some real exploring of the north/south crestone and willow creek trails, etc. (i've done a few shorter runs on them, but nothing to do them real justice) but as it turns out my body was way too burnt and i needed to just take an easy week. so it goes.<BR/><BR/>i love the sangres, though.<BR/><BR/>tonyAntonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11148317903654491236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-451222917425507533.post-80541183756972293632008-05-10T11:08:00.000-06:002008-05-10T11:08:00.000-06:00Crestone is an incredible place...hope you enjoyed...Crestone is an incredible place...hope you enjoyed your stay there...and not just for the running. If you head back, there's a nice double track running from the end of the Baca all the way to the Great Sand Dunes. There are also some great trails at the north end of town by the campground that head up into the mountains. I'm hoping to head back there this summer to run/hike them...too much snow when we were there a few weeks ago. Hope to spend some time checking out Salida/BV on the way back too.<BR/><BR/>Curious what led you over to Crestone...DWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03308356648131322055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-451222917425507533.post-38114493310678303092008-05-06T17:46:00.000-06:002008-05-06T17:46:00.000-06:00Great pull back week.
